I actually put off reading it for quite awhile till I gave in to the "buzz" - and I loved it. Now I want to know more about this her.

I'm often distracted by differences as well and it makes you wonder why movie makers choose to deviate in such ways. What difference does it make what Julia did before she attended the cooking school. Why a hat maker?

I think the audio format added a lot to my enjoyment. I recommended it to my mother (who doesn't listen to audiobooks) and she couldn't get through the print version.
