Incredible. The author created the perfect environment for the story preceding Montgomery's own works. Fabulous and transporting to the first Anne experiences.

The kind of book every Canadian needs to read to understand the betrayal of Aboriginal children and the consequences we still see every day. The kind of book you wish you hadn't read.

Boooring. The first chapter holds real promise. The descriptions for this foodie had me captivated. The problem started when each subsequent chapter applied the meandering overly descriptive approach to everything the character did. Parts are wonderful but as a whole, it cured my insomnia.

The premise was really good but the post-apocalyptic boredom set in shortly after starting the book. Finished it because I kept hoping it would get better.

My father is from Newfoundland and Wayne Johnston's work rekindles memories of places, language and culture that I haven't heard him speak of before. Wonderful reading.

I have been a fan of Mrs. Child since I was a kid. The book brings her voice forward with the simple pleasure she obviously gained from her passion for good food.

The unexpected intertwining and the really divergent perspectives of the war were riveting. The author's own story is equally fascinating

Julie and Julia: My Year Of Cooking Dangerously

Julie and Julia: My Year Of Cooking Dangerously | Julie Powell

Horrid waste of time!!!!

3 years ago

Let's be clear that this woman had a blog published. She took an interesting journey but she is no writer. She wasted so many opportunities to link to Julia Child and the reason behind Julia's passion. Instead she focused on stupid tangents about her sex life and that of her friends. Despite her attempt to make the rest of us seem boring, her use of the F-bomb does not add anything to the book other than reinforcing the limitations of her vocabulary. This book was a real shame. Thank goodness… read review
