Book Reviews of Home: A Memoir of My Early Years
Book Review: loved it
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm a big Julie Andrews fan and feel blessed that I have enjoyed her perfomances in person while living in NYC. This is a great memoir as it tells a story that allows us to know the life behind the actress, but not in a self serving way. I do wish that it had come out as a Kindle book sooner. I did but the hardcopy at an airport bookstore because the Kindle version wasn't available at the time.Book Review: A Must Read
Summary: 5 Stars
This book gives an insight into the war years in Britain. It also shows how much hard work it took to get where Julie is today. It takes more than just talent and luck. I can't wait for the next installment!!!!!!Book Review: What a long-awaited delight!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best autobiography I've ever read.I have been eagerly awaiting this book since it was announced last year,and I was not disappointed.Julie tells her own life story in a straightforward and very honest manner.Her prose is lovely,and the photos are excellent.And yes,she
dishes the gossip(wait till you read what she says about Rex Harrison and Richard Burton!)The best thing about the book is that it's very informal.
You really feel like you're just having a long,intimate conversation with
Julie.This is a warm,leisurely,and highly entertaining read.I can't wat for the sequel!The Sound of Music (1965 Film Soundtrack - 40th Anniversary Special Edition)
Book Review: How A Loving Father Nurtured a Special Girl
Summary: 5 Stars
Dame Julie has written a generous and candid book, describing a childhood and youth filled with special challenges and the musical gift that brought joy to millions. At the quiet center of her book is her kind father, who, while divorced from Julie's mother, provided the constant love and security that grounded this special young person. When she was growing up, Julia Wells was far from being the incandescent star we know today. Yet, her father treated her as the special young person she was. This book is above all the unsentimental tribute from that luminous child to her beloved father. How wonderful that Dame Julie Andrews is every bit as beautiful a person as she seemed atop that Austrian mountain. Book Review: Promise Us....
