Home: A Memoir of My Early years

If you find Julie Andrews interesting, you will enjoy reading this book. Her early years were not sugar coated. It was interesting to learn how she entered show business and grew in her career. I was sorry to see the book end with her coming to America to film "Mary Poppins." I thought it would continue past her first film with Disney..... This book is easy, interesting and pleasurable reading!

Excellent

It was well written memoir. She is one of my favorite people. Very classy, I have an appreciation for her.

Enjoyable but left with questions.

I am certainly a Julie Andrews fan and have been since first seeing her in Mary Poppins. This books is quite an accomplishment and must have been quite an undertaking. Congrats Julie! The details are full and explanations are vivid. However, sometimes I felt I got a series of facts and recollections of events but not how they impacted Julie or how they made her be who she is today. There were chapters that left me with more questions. Maybe it is the British way of explaining life circumstances and emotions, or maybe it would have made the book too long or maybe it will be apparent if there is a Part 2. I concluded that the public Julie Andrews we know and love has archtypal qualities that our culture craves and we want to know more. But, as an author she owes us nothing and she can write the book any which way she wants. Thanks for the book Julie. I hope there will be a second one. And someday I would love to have tea with you and ask all those questions.

This is a good book, but would've been better if not so dry. Julie Andrews had an extraordinary life and if it had been written more warmly and less like a travelogue it would've been better.

loved it

I'm a big Julie Andrews fan and feel blessed that I have enjoyed her perfomances in person while living in NYC. This is a great memoir as it tells a story that allows us to know the life behind the actress, but not in a self serving way. I do wish that it had come out as a Kindle book sooner. I did but the hardcopy at an airport bookstore because the Kindle version wasn't available at the time.
