Book Reviews of My Life in France
Book Review: My Life in France
Summary: 5 Stars
This book about Julia's life in France is a wonderful, eye-opening and down-to-earth "expose'" right from the author's musings - she paints a wonderful picture
of her life, her surroundings, her friends, and her loves: cooking, her husband, and the city of Paris. This revelation of who she was (educated, insatiably curious about French cuisine, funny, liberal, well-liked,and extremely sociable) made me wish I had become a fan long ago. Now I'm cooking French as I've wanted to
for years!

Summary: 4 Stars
Interesting book. Too much detail presented on the meals. The pictures give it a personal touch and help to put the characters into context.Book Review: My Life in France
Summary: 4 Stars
My goal was to read this book and Julie/Julia before I saw the movie. I did do that and I am happy I did. The movie doesn't do My Life in France justice although it does capture the Childs' love for each other and Julia's love of food. But how could it? I thoroughly enjoyed My Life in France, after only seeing Julia Childs in caricature or SNL sketches it was fun to read how this amazing woman carved out a place for herself by doing what she loved. An inspiration to us all.Book Review: My Life in France

Summary: 5 Stars
My Life in France by Julia Child was a delightful compelling read for me. I lived overseas & love to cook so I much in common with her. What a truely dedicated, optomistic & loveable person she was. I've seen the movie, Julie & Julia twice & thoroughly enjoyed it again.
