Book Reviews of Bone in the Throat
Book Review: Great Fast Read
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great fast read. I thought the plot and story was very interesting and easy to follow. Bourdain does a great job of describing the characters and really makes you care about them and what happens to them. If you get this and like it deffinately get the next book, Gone Bamboo!Book Review: An easy but somewhat bland read
Summary: 2 Stars
I enjoyed Kitchen Confidential a lot more for its witty writing and colourful insights into the restaurant business. This fiction novel however, disappoints as the pace is slow, the action limited and the characters predictable. It is nevertheless unpretentious and an easy read.Book Review: Ahem!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
For a first time novelist, "Bone in the Throat" is a grand slam. Tony covers all the bases then knocks it home with a sharp sense of humor in an otherwise depressingly sad story. I like this one better than his later novel, "Gone Bamboo" but they are both great reads.
Book Review: Good simple read
Summary: 4 Stars
It's pretty much Kitchen Confidential with a mob plot thrown in. His knowledge of resturaunt operations come through very clear and told with a lot of detail. Don't expect this one to win any literary awards but if you have a little time to kill this is a good read.Book Review: Entertaining
Summary: 4 Stars
Decent, fast, easy reading. I often forgot I was reading a book of fiction written by a chef. Not the best I've ever read, but certainly not the worse. Great effort for a chef.
