Title: A very disappointing book...
Review: I had high hopes when first picking up this book. I had seen it before on the shelves, before the movie previews started on TV, but I passed it up. After seeing how cute the movie looked and seeing it was a film by Nora Ephron, the woman behind the great films Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail, then I decided to give it a try. I started to read the book, got into it, maybe 50 pages in thinking, "This is cute, I think I'm going to like this." I then started reading further into it and was very disappointed. Not only was it very long and boring, but the author has the tendency to not translate the meaning of what she's cooking, since all of the recipes have French names. Bless you if you can get through this book. I am an avid reader and usually will read almost anything but this wasn't something I could. Watch out for another book she has coming out in December called 'Cleaving', a more detailed of the same story told in this book.
