"I really liked this book. It covers much of the same ground as the tv show of the same name, but gives you more insight into the motivations and experiences that the crew had traveling. Bourdain writes much like he speaks, and is an amusing if somewhat snide story teller. Some of the pictures and stories are very moving, and most are beautiful."
It reads just like Tony Bourdain is telling a series of stories to a captivated audience. I've watched enough eps of No Reservations to know TB's cadences and speech/vocal nuances. And this book just proves that he writes like he speaks. Which is awesome!
"Bourdain's show of the same name has spun off this book recounting (mostly through photographs) some of his experiences travelling around the world and sampling regional cuisines. Check out the section on Namibia. But keep your smelling salts close at hand."
"I just read this for fun and I did enjoy it. Bourdain takes you around the world and sometimes you wish you were with him, but often you will be glad you are at home eating food that you know."
