Book Reviews of You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again
Book Review: Baby Boomers Will Find This Book Intriguing
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw Julia Phillips on a Phil Donahue episode, sometime back in the early '90s. If I recall correctly, she was there to promote this book at the time. Julia's on air presence was so intriguing, I wanted to buy the book. It was some thirty years later, I actually did so, but the wait didn't disappoint. This book reveals more than just some hollywood gal arm candy making statements about who's who in Bollywood. Julia Phillips stood out because she was a woman,who, in spite of her oftentimes self destructive habits...she was a woman who had a brain and wasn't afraid to use it. This book also reveals a woman who was trying hard to learn from her own mistakes...a woman who also wanted to help others along the way. Julia Phillips could be cold as ice, tough as nails, but could crumble at a moment's notice as well. Her wit rivaled the old seasoned comics like Groucho Marx or Lenny Bruce. This book is also worth reading because of Julia's sensitivity to social issues of equality. This is not a book to skim through and you'll find yourself pulling it out time and time again, recalling a name and situation here and there. Oh, and about the namedropping in this book...try to keep up, lol.
