Way better than the movie, but the movie was great in itself! The book seems more to do with Julie Powell where the movie has more scenes and insite into Julia Child along with husband Paul. Both the movie and the book are well worth the time, in my opinion.

I LOVE Julia Child! (Love not LOVE! eww!) I grew up watching her then became a professional chef of 22 years running a couple of small town rural Iowa cafes after running kitchens and country clubs around the area. Julia is/was an icon.

Julie Powells writing style is like popcorn in a hot skillet! She can start a topic, run on sentence after sentence only to finish it a few pages latter. Refreshing, true to life, a joy to read. Loved the book!

Now I'm off to find her new book, Cleaved.
