I recently read Julie & Julia and thought it was a really cute book. I wanted to see the movie, so I thought I should read the book first. Books are always better.
This book wasn't life changing for me and I didn't immediately put it down and tell the person next to me that they had to read it like I did the other book I will be writing about soon. The story was easy to follow, but I was a little disappointed that it didn't talk about Julia more. I just expected there to be more about her. Some parts of the book went off on tangents I didn't understand, but I think that is the way real life is. And I think that was what the author was trying to get across. This was her life. And this is how life happens. It's not always perfect. So in that sense, I liked it.
Overall, a cute book. I will be interested to see what the movie is like.
