review 1: This was a curious read. At times, I was really bored when it became more about the author's childhood and her lack of interest in cooking. What did keep me reading was the interesting life of Julia Child. She is a fascinating, fastidious(in the culinary sense) person who truly exemplifies joie de vivre, through out all of her many endeavors. I loved hearing about Julia's process in writing the cookbook. That was amazing and so insightful. I am really inspired to find a copy of the second edition of her famous volumes on Mastering the Art of French Cuisine and baking some of her classic recipes.
review 2: I disagree with some of her "lessons" and I always wonder about the accuracy of second-hand biographies like this. This is the only book about Julia Child I ... morehave read; I am not interested in the kind of food she cooked either. What is interesting about this book is that it's more about the life of a free spirit and a great woman who refused to scramble to fit in with everyone else in her generation. The tone is quite positive, and I learned a lot; not just about Julia, but about Greatest Generation America growing up. It made me feel a bit better about my life to read about women of that era marrying and having children later in their 30's than was proper, as I am personally in no hurry to settle down. less
