review:
Like the rating says, I really liked this book. Dropped a star because sometimes the slangy-ness was a bit much for me. I saw the Julie & Julia movie, but hadn’t read the book, when I spotted this on the new books shelf at the library and grabbed it on an impulse.
I’m trying to encapsulate what I liked about this book, and it’s honestly a bit difficult to express. As far as the narrative technique, the switching back and forth between the technical butchery bits and the personal story really worked for me. Otherwise? I’m just going to leave it at: I really liked it.
