Julie and Julia

My Year of Cooking Dangerously

I saw the movie when it first came out and loved it. I found I liked the book less than the movie. Julia and her quirkiness figure in it but not as much as in the film, and Julie is much more frenetic than I remember her in the movie. You might want to read in snatches to protect your sanity. The whole account is one manic note after another generously smothered with buttery creamy sauces. I am sure I would not like Julie as a friend because of her hyper neediness, but I do admire her for her crazy choice of challenge and her amazing ability to apply herself to 'getting it right', or as right as she can often after more than one attempt. She is turning thirty but you would think her still in her teens. Her husband is a saint.
