In the first hour and half (out of nearly 6 hours) of this audiobook she address 2 recipes! When she says at 1:20 minutes into the the audio 'Day 38 recipe 46', I wanted to scream, 'What about the other 45 recipes!' She is obsessed with 9/11 as she worked as a temp secretary for some some federal agency after the attack. I loved Julia Child and her cookbooks and couldn't wait to read of one person making all recipes to Mastering the Art of French Cooking in one year. I was so looking forward to this title and so disappointed when I listened to it. I think the producer, director, editor, whomever ought to be responsible for making sure an audiobook with this much French vocabulary is comprehensible to those who listen and want to understand what they hear. If people don't speak French they can at least look the words up when they see them written on the page, but for those who actually DO speak French, there is no way to solve the problem of figuring out a mispronounced word in an audiobook.

Further, there is no point in recording a book with lots of French words in it if they are mispronounced-the author might as well use English words if she didn't need the French ones in the text-and if she did need the French words then she ought to have learned how to pronounce them correctly for the audiobook. This is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE when no attempt is made to pronounce an entire specialized vocabulary within the book correctly. How much extra time and expense would it take to consult a French dictionary or even just a French person and get some phonetic spelling to permit French words to be pronounced with some resemblance to French? The whole purpose of listening to an audiobook is to HEAR the text. My biggest problem is not with the author as author, but rather with the author as narrator or perhaps the lack of appropriate directing/editing which is characteristic of not only this audiobook, but most audiobooks based on any significant percentage of French vocabulary. Most of the author's commentary was witty and funny, and only occasionally marred by the unnecessarily childish vulgar language that better suits a blog perhaps than a book. Alexander S.I was surprised and pleased by how much I enjoyed this title.napilopez on The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.Joris on The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.It will not go down as one of the great Desplat scores, but it will go down very tastily indeed! Weirdly, it’s only available as a pressed CD-R from Amazon (or as a download). It’s deliberately that way, of course – not every score can be a weighty one! Picture it as a sugery counterpart to Desplat’s The Upside of Anger – or perhaps a Parisian version of George Fenton’s wonderful opening piece from Ephron’s earlier film You’ve Got Mail. While one may have become accustomed to Desplat’s scores having real meat on the bone, this one is much more like a tasty vignette. With delightful themes, some light jazz and – of course – a waltz or two, it’s completely lovely. The composer brings a really delightful French charm to the film, and this is probably the closest he’s come to sounding like his countryman Georges Delerue. A light and fluffy film – so Desplat wasn’t necessarily an obvious choice, but having listened to the score – yes, of course he was the right choice. Alexandre Desplat moves away from the generally serious fare he has been tackling of late to turn his attentions to Nora Ephron’s Julie & Julia, mixing the tales of Julia Child (one of the first American celebrity chefs) with a modern-day woman (guess her name) who tries to cook all of Child’s recipes.
