Title: Julie Powell, I don't like you
Review: I had such high hopes for this book and have been sorely disappointed. I've only read about half of it and am making myself finish it since I paid full price for it. Reading should not be a chore. There is so much wrong with it I can't cover it all but here are my major complaints:First of all Julie is downright obnoxious. There is nothing likeable about her. She is whiny, crass, and extremely vulgar. This book is also full of profanity. And I am appalled at her cold feelings towards 9-11 victims. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. Second, this book has hardly anything to do with cooking. The author mentions the recipes almost as an afterthought. Third, she completely overwrites and I'm finding my mind wondering on nearly every single page. I am no psychic, but I am rather comfortable predicting that her newest book will be a complete and utter failure. I can see why Julia Child wanted no part in this.
