Book Reviews of Appetite for Life
Book Review: A Success Story
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved this book and I loved Julia Childs. I watched her on TV during most of my adult life and I always wanted to know her life story. I decided to read this book now becasue I wanted to get more out of the new movie that has just recently been released.
If I had to offer one or two words about Julia's life that impressed me, one word would be integrity; she was her own person and never sold out to corporate interest. Also, her books and her talent were the real thing, the product of very hard work. Another word would be fun. She was very passionate and had a strong determination but she took time out to have fun along the way.
The author tries to include all of the people in Julia's life but I found trying to keep up with all of the names confusing at times. I would like to have read a little more about Julia's co-author Simca, but I must admit what is in the book is more than adequate. This is a very good book and will keep your interest from the first page to the last. I miss Julia.
