True Confessions: I totally picked up this book because I watched Julie & Julia, didn't enjoy it, and figured I'd pick up "My Life in France" as "the good parts" version. Then I promptly didn't read it for nearly a year. Go me! Other true confessions: I usually avoid autobiographies, so I'm not very used to the conventions of the genre. Also, I was not terribly familiar with Julia Child outside of the "she made cookbooks and did a cooking show, right?" bits. I found the book at turns engaging and boring. While Child lived an obviously fascinating life, and was generally an engaging writer, I found that many of the stories became very repetitive. I also found my eyes skimming over lengthy lists of dishes tried and enjoyed. While I love to eat food, I'd never heard of most of the meals she was describing so I couldn't appreciate anything she was saying about them. I did, however, find her discussion of making the book "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" utterly fascinating. I've never really thought much about how much work goes into cookbooks and the creation of recipes, let alone the difficulties in pitching something like Mastering to an audience that would be used to a different style of cooking. In addition, I found her discussions of the difficulties in translating French ideas of food into appropriate US measurements and recipes intriguing. I guess I mostly wanted more of that. Another thing I enjoyed was Child's descriptions of people that she had falling outs with. Although writing an autobiography that includes people who are dead would give one the opportunity to present others in poor light, I never felt Child did this. Her discussions of the end of her partnership with Simca were presented as being mostly a difference of opinion and a growing apart due to their different expectations and experiences, rather than casting Simca as the villain. I finished this book a few days ago, and although I enjoyed it, I wouldn't re-read it, and I'm not sure who I could recommend it to. I would strongly encourage anyone who has a weak stomach for discussion of animal parts to consider skipping this book.

I preferred this to the first book. We find out a lot more about the characters and it's great to see Rose develop and see what she does next. Great.

This was, all in all, a pretty odd book. You can probably tell that from the synopsis, but I truly didn't expect what happened in this book. I was intrigued by the synopsis as I, like all teenage girls, used to have crushes on musicians and fantasise about them falling in love with me. It was an interesting story and there were aspects which appealed to me, but my problem was the characters. I just didn't connect with any of them. Maybe this is an issue with books with less than 150 pages, but I just didn't feel like I knew Evie. Her life was interesting and appeared to be realistic (not that I know a lot about Southern USA in the 1960s!), but I didn't really care whether or not she made the right decisions regarding Casey. Casey was an arrogant and aggravating character to begin with, but by the end of the book he appeared to have grown more than Evie, and had more common sense than her. But I still definitely prefer Tyler's later novels. I'd recommend reading this if you want to find out what her earlier novels are like, as this was an intriguing novel and definitely not a waste of time, but I am glad that I didn't buy it new. 6/10

First line: "Get it together, Abraham." Rick continues to struggle with his role as leader. He and his group also continue to prove that they are the most badass group around - even though they don't eat each other. They begin to discover some of the negative undertones of the community they were adopted into. Overall and enjoyable read.

A difficult read but very worthwhile - other than Shakespeare, no one illumines human nature better than Dickens.

Good sweet story. Fairly predictable, but a fun read nonetheless. I liked the overall story, hated Rose. Didn't mind the Shakespeare references as much as other reviewers.

The bones of this story are decent enough, but Adams never quite develops the narrative flow to really make it succeed - his kitchen-sink approach to plot development gets in the way of the speed and page-turning a book like this needs to work.
