Engrossing, Entertaining Memoir!

One of the most interesting, well-written memoirs I have had the pleasure to read. In spite of all of the sometimes sordid incidents in her early life, Julie Andrews writes with wit, and provides fascinating details of life in WWII and post war England.
The book really never fails to keep your interest, the photos are marvelous, and I enthusiastically recommend this as the best memoir of recent years.


What a long-awaited delight!

This is the best autobiography I've ever read.I have been eagerly awaiting this book since it was announced last year,and I was not disappointed.Julie tells her own life story in a straightforward and very honest manner.Her prose is lovely,and the photos are excellent.And yes,she
dishes the gossip(wait till you read what she says about Rex Harrison and Richard Burton!)The best thing about the book is that it's very informal.
You really feel like you're just having a long,intimate conversation with
Julie.This is a warm,leisurely,and highly entertaining read.I can't wat for the sequel!The Sound of Music (1965 Film Soundtrack - 40th Anniversary Special Edition)

How A Loving Father Nurtured a Special Girl

Dame Julie has written a generous and candid book, describing a childhood and youth filled with special challenges and the musical gift that brought joy to millions. At the quiet center of her book is her kind father, who, while divorced from Julie's mother, provided the constant love and security that grounded this special young person. When she was growing up, Julia Wells was far from being the incandescent star we know today. Yet, her father treated her as the special young person she was. This book is above all the unsentimental tribute from that luminous child to her beloved father. How wonderful that Dame Julie Andrews is every bit as beautiful a person as she seemed atop that Austrian mountain.

A Must Read

This book gives an insight into the war years in Britain. It also shows how much hard work it took to get where Julie is today. It takes more than just talent and luck. I can't wait for the next installment!!!!!!
