Writing Assignment 4

The "blog book" I was assigned to read was Julie and Julia by Julie Powell. I really enjoyed it. For writing assignment 4, writing a book review, I know I want to give Julie and Julia a positive review. It will be very different compared to my negative review of Searching for Debra Winger.
The most obvious reason why I loved Julie and Julia so much was Powell's writing style. It was very casual and easy to relate to. I even liked the profanity! Some readers may be offended by the profanity, even she mentions that in her book, but I thought it added to her character. Powell is also very humorous, which made some of the book's more serious parts more enjoyable.
A small problem that I had with the book, which will be part of my concession, was the ending. I felt it was a little abrupt and inconclusive. I wish she had written a little about what the journey of completing all 564 recipes did for her. The fact that there were two endings was also a little irritating to me as a reader. However one could argue that it was fitting because of the way Powell wrote the book. Her writing style is a bit jumbled and disorganized- just like the ending.
Overall, I will give the book a strong review. It was so fun and enjoyable to read compared to the textbooks I've been reading all semester.
