Title: I'm glad I didn't BUY it!
Review: This was a gift -- requested and much anticipated. I'm sorry my son wasted his money on my behalf. Yes, I'm a "foodie," and foodies are going to be as disappointed as I was in this book. I'm also an avid reader, and the premise of this book was irresistable. Ugh! I had to force myself to finish it. It had absolutely nothing to do with food, as I know and love it; it was all about the author, her dysfunctional husband/friends, her wretched living conditions, and her frequent alcoholic binges. Julia Child (whom I met more than once in my youth, since she was an acquaintance of my mother) was right to wash her hands of the whole thing. I'm donating my copy to the library. I would NEVER pass it along to a friend!
