Stopped at page 56. The exact line that stopped me? "I found it all deeply fascinating."
I picked up this book because I had just come back from a month-long trip to France. In addition, I am interested in French Baking. And yet, the minute Julia said, " I found it all deeply fascinating", I thought, "No, it's not."
Julia Child could be excused for this line because it is a biography; she's telling us how she felt. Showing is better than telling but she is a cook not an author so I should cut her some slack, but I can't get past the "deeply fascinating." Maybe if she'd left out the "deeply".
