Home Work: A Memoir of My Hollywood Years

I was excited to read this second chapter of Julie Andrews Edwards life as the first was a great read. I remember not wanting to put it down and was disappointed it ended on a cliffhanger-Edwards heading to California and Disney to film “Mary Poppins.”

Unfortunately, this book did not really have the same charm or flow as that first one. While revealing in some ways, others it glosses over to the point where it seems like a dry recitation of facts. It never grabbed my full attention and it was a struggle to continue in places.

I did learn quite about about the actress, her films and her family life, but I doubt I'll be recommending this one to others like I did, “Home.” I suspect at some point, Edwards is planning to release a 3rd memoir of her later years. I will likely pick it up at some point if it comes to be, but unlike the first two, I won't be eagerly waiting for it to be released.
