This is book is bloody brilliant!! In a time where media food stars seem to paste on a plastic grin, Bourdain's writing style is frank and refreshing. A must read if you consider yourself a foodie, or are at all interested in Bourdain.

Definitly not what i was expecting, but still a good read. I was expecting stories on romantic love, but it is more a collection of stories on real love; as well as different types of love: love of a family, a first love, unhappy marriages, etc. It has a lot of depth and it was fun to read.

Immensely enjoying it so far. Burke recounts his own as well as other people's stories with God and gives you tips in staying in a constant "coversation" with God. Really refreshing to read a book that gives you such a simple way to God, without the judgments or the "holier-than-thou" attitude that can come from other sources.

Absolutely loved this book! My first book of this type and i enjoyed it. Hall uses type to create a feeling and/or set a mood. Type gets big, gets small, gets put at different parts of the page, so interesting. Hall also completly challenges you with his reality, and his ambiguous ending; i was left there asking my self what i had just experienced and had it really happened the way i thought it did. Quite marvelous.
