Title: For Once, Movie Exceeds Book
Review: I went to see Julie and Julia in theaters, and thought it was a great movie. Both Meryl Steep and Amy Adams were good, and they really made the story come to life. I thought this was an interesting story, so I thought the book would be a great choice for me. However, I was very wrong. The writing is awful, and sometimes I had to read a passage twice to understand what it was saying. It felt like I was having a very informal conversation with the author. It was truly disappointing, and I had to stop reading it because I couldn't force myself to read any more of it. It is too bad because it really could have been a good book, but she just isn't a good writer, so it didn't really work.
