Title: Cute, Engaging, and a Fun Read for any Julia Child Fan
Review: When I started reading this book, I honestly wasn't thrilled at first. It seemed to me the writer was trying too hard to be humorous and spent too much time thinking up clever witticisms instead of focusing on the content. But as the book progressed, she seemed to relax into her writing and it became far more fun for the reader. The pacing is a bit uneven here and there, and yes, she does take us off on unrelated tangents occasionally; in the end, however, it only adds to the endearing quality of this unabashed and heartfelt tribute to the greatest cook in American history.I admire Julie Powell's courage in tackling a project of this magnitude - as a long-time Julia Child devotee, I was relieved to see someone else had the same *&^%$ struggles with marrowbone that I did - and, although Julie, her husband, or her family might curse me for even suggesting it, I wouldn't be disappointed if she decided to tackle MtAoFC, Vol. 2.
