Title: Nice idea for a book, terrible writing
Review: I am an enthusiastic amateur cook, who also loves to read. However, having grown up in US I admit I never heard of Julia Child until I married and moved here (my mother-in-law is a big fan). I thought the basis for the book to be a very clever idea, and I can see how it would be an interesting blog. Unfortunately, rather early on in the book, I found the writing to be of a rather humdrum quality. There were flashes of good writing, but they were too few and far between to sustain interest. I struggled as much as I could, but I couldn't finish it. This is the quality of writing that makes me think anyone can get a book deal - maybe even me!
