If US Weekly (the tabloid) wrote a book about Bourdain, this would be it. A lot of recycled material from his own books/career/social media intermixed with mean juicy gossip. You don‘t want to admit to reading it, but it still ends up in your grocery cart. A total #BorrowNotBuy so far though!
Cinfhen Ha!!! Perfect description!! I saw this on #Scribd and was wondering if it‘s necessary. I feel like the oral biography was so good and encompassing that I probably don‘t need to read this 👆🏽 2y
JenReadsAlot I was curious about this one. 2y
MicheleinPhilly I read an article in the NYT about this book and really hate the idea of it. I don‘t agree with his ex‘s decision to grant access to his computer at all. I‘m definitely skipping it. 2y

Megabooks @MicheleinPhilly I missed that article, but it‘s probably going to be a pan if I finish it. Even if I can get past the sour grapes of so many, I can‘t get past the recycled material from KC and Medium Raw. 2y
Megabooks @JenReadsAlot I‘m considering bailing because of the huge amount of recycled material. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ 2y
Megabooks @Cinfhen the oral biography was so much better, and while I agree with this author that he is a man, not a saint, I prefer the positive spin on his life in![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
