Add a CommentHaving LOVED the movie I was a little disappointed in the book. I'm glad I read it but found "Julie" a lot less likable than the movie version.
This book was better than the movie. There are swears in it. Just a heads up! It's a decent read.
It was OK story, I thought there would be more - has similar feel like Eat, Love, Pray. It was a book I could put down, as it didn't feed that interest in me. Also be prepared some American political views.
It was plain but it was cute. I can’t cook but it made me want to try some of the recipes.
It was okay. The movie version of Julie is much more likeable. Although sometimes funny, the stories about cooking are far less interesting than Julie and her friends' lives, but receive way more print space. I would stick with the movie, and I say that as a die-hard "must read the book!" person.
A great book that was not only hilarious but gave such descriptions of the foods and recipes that made me hungry every time I read it. I could hardly put it down!
This is one of those rare laugh-out-loud books that I can't put down. I just love the writer's original way with words.
I really enjoyed both the book and the movie. They even compliment each other. The movie spends more on Julia's life and the book on Julie's quest.
enjoyed the book! found an uncataloged copy at the Lois Hole library in the paperback sectoin.
I saw the movie but havent read the book...i was hooked on the movie though....excellent story...
