I’d rate this as 0 if it were an option. Bourdain seems to be trying to live up to some kind of strange ideal, but he comes across as self-centered and self-absorbed. Not worth the read.

Rairly have I read a book that I hate. This is it! Not only is it not funny but it is insulting to anyone who would sit in his dining room. Tony’s fan base just lost one.

A star wants to be born, amidst the puddles of animal fat, screams and blood. A star who finds sensual pleasure in frying animal fat and who openly hates vegetarians, compassion and anyone who’s not as twisted as he is. An individual who longs for the exquisite taste of monkey brains (were the monkey’s craneum top is removed while still alive, to die only with the trust of the metal spoon). This person embodies the worst of the qualities that have made the French so famous: a decadent sensory obsession and experimentation where anything and everything goes (and has), coupled with the arrogance and disdain of a people who long for appreciation they’ve never gotten. My veredict: This book is just another brick of the wall that separates France from civilization.
