Julie & Julia - Julie Powell

one sentence summary:
Julia decides to do a blog by cooking every recipe in Julia Childs "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" in one year.

review:
This book, while far from great writing is entertaining in an easy read type way. One of those grand quest, kind of funny, memoirs that hit the best seller lists. It covers all aspects of her life, not just the grand quest, and that is what made it worth reading. Both Julia and her husband are bona fide yuppies but that kind of adds to the charm of them. Quirky in an "influenced way the eff to much by Disney ideals" way this is a very interesting look at the quest for a "perfect relationship". I enjoyed it. I would recommend it to anyone who this description appeals to.
6/10
