Book Reviews of Backstage with Julia: My Years with Julia Child
Book Review: Very Interesting Read whether you are a JC fan or not
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked up this boook as I had enjoyed other books about Julia Child and this did not disappoint. The behind-the-scenes details are fascinating. I never watched Julia Child's show and am not interested in gourmet cooking at all. But Verde Barr takes us back in time to meet the real Julia - I like that she does not sugarcoat facts and is honest with both her own faults as well as Julia's. Even the smallest details are written so well there is never a dull moment. I am having a hard time putting this own down and am already recommending this to my friends. Also, thank you Ms. Barr for writing this wonderful book as it has inspired me to start thinking of writing my own story of working backstage in a casino showroom - only hope I can do as well as this. This book should have at least four stars if not five!
