The subtitle, Adventures in the
Culinary Underbelly, is very apt.
Bourdain makes frequent use of
simile and metaphor in his writing;
like a junior high boy, however,
all his comparisons refer to human
excretory functions and sex acts.
The book was strangely compelling,
yet ultimately not my cuppa tea.
