Book Reviews of Home: A Memoir of My Early Years
Book Review: Julie Andrews' Home is a lovely memoir
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend Julie Andrews' "Home: A Memoir of My Early Years." It's a beautifully written book that captures the times and places of the events that took place in her early years (i.e before her film career). As one who, as a young child, first heard her sing on the "My Fair Lady" orginal cast recording, I've been a fan for a very long time. This wonderful book adds to her many extraordinary achievments. I'm so looking forward to the next installment of her amazing life.Book Review: Julie Andrews Will Always Be One of My Fair Ladies
Summary: 1 Stars
I have loved Julie Andrews since I first saw her in My Fair Lady and Camelot. She is so gracious, talented, beautiful and I've heard bawdy, which I think makes her a well rounded lady. Unfortunately, I preordered this book without realizing what the content would be, and I found it disappointing. She obviously was terribly offended by some of the unpleasant deeds of Rex Harrison, but she was too gracious in her reflection of their appalling behavior. The memoir just wasn't what I expected. It boring and after laboriously reading most of it, I put it aside. This memoir has nothing to do with my admiration of Julie Andrews and all of her awesome accomplishments.Book Review: After "Home" by Julie Andrews, we eagerly await Volume 2 of this great star's autobiography!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Home," Julie Andrews' superbly written autobiography of her earlier years, simply makes the reader eagerly await a second volume, covering the subsequent years of this great star's life. The book is written in a frank and interesting manner, revealing the happenings in a performer's life before and after the curtain is raised and lowered. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Book Review: Julie Andrews
Summary: 3 Stars
I thought it was very good, however have enjoyed other books about famous people more.Book Review: Unendingly Interesting
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is SO interesting! The first half is full of details that seem very pertinent to Julie's life story. I lost interest during the second half because I had a difficult time keeping up with all the different people in her life during that time. Still a very good read! She is an amazing woman!
