"I liked this book quite a bit despite the fact that it is basically the autobiography of a cheating a-hole who uses women/sex to make himself feel better about his failures in life.
In fact, I found "The Ramen King" to be very entertaining, largely because Raskin is so self-deprecating and somewhat ridiculous. I laughed out loud in parts, and I never laugh out loud while reading. (OK, maybe David Sedaris sometimes.)
I also loved the numerous Japanese food and cultural references. (I had no idea there were so many food-themed comic books. I immediately went online and tried to order them, but alas, no English translations!) Raskin's descriptions made me want to travel and see the Instant Ramen Museum in Osaka for myself."
"This book sent both me and my boyfriend on a horrific jag of ramen eating. Well, my boyfriend didn't read the book but he got sucked in to the ramen fest. So, I recommend the book but it might make you hungry. I recommend it because the writer has found a new and interesting way to write about food and love together. Maybe in a way that has weird resonance in our fast-food culture. Or maybe I'm just a sucker for noodles."
