Very well-written, interesting, honest and LAUGH OUT LOUD FUNNY! I have rarely laughed so much while reading a book, even one meant to be humorous. I enjoyed this one immensely.

I exchange books I've read with others most of the time, being a member of great organizations such as Paperback Book Swap, which I strongly recommend, but this is one of the few books I own that I refuse to exchange. It goes in my keeper pile and I do plan to reread it again, perhaps several times.

Bourdain may even be a better writer than he is a cook. I've enjoyed his other books too, but this one is a clear winner.

"A Cook's Tour" is another keeper and is fascinating. We have traveled to many countries and food is always a major subject of interest to us. Bourdain shares some of his wonderful, interesting experiences and you may find yourself canceling appointments, putting off the dusting and washing to just keep reading. His writing certainly holds your attention. By all means, check it out.
