I hate thinking about how many years ago that was. I know I read the sequel, too, but I remember next to nothing about it.Georgette Spelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853710671433406351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566219501850777383.post-3224122123984496452011-10-10T11:45:21.657-04:002011-10-10T11:45:21.657-04:00Let's not forget Someone Is Killing The Great ...Let's not forget Someone Is Killing The Great Chefs Of Europe by Nan and Ivan Lyons for a combination plate of mystery and haute cuisine.

Bourdain himself is more than I can take.<br /><br />Peri, my jaw dropped when I read your statement that a "Literature Summary and Study Guide" to BONE IN THE THROAT is available! I can't imagine anybody needing a guide for this book. Street talk, drug use, sex, punk rock and cartoon violence is pretty self-explanatory. <br /><br />MC, I also love it when authors share their expertise in their mysteries. There's that old saying "Write what you know" and Bourdain knows food and SoHo. Tommy the sous-chef is a sympathetic character. He is determined to become a great chef despite his background and all the crazy action at the Dreadnaught. Harvey, the ex-dentist/restaurant owner, is determined to make a go of his restaurant even though in the eyes of the feds it is just a vehicle to get Sally Wig. I had fun reading this.Della Streetwisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438127536935500336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566219501850777383.post-57389502089294483892011-10-10T09:39:51.085-04:002011-10-10T09:39:51.085-04:00I remember reading the Bourdain novel when it firs...I remember reading the Bourdain novel when it first came out. It was pretty good, not great. I have mixed feelings about his show. The places he visits are always fascinating, but he can be such a jerk sometimes.Sister Mary Murderoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13721665989818474295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566219501850777383.post-79913017414111463492011-10-10T08:15:56.669-04:002011-10-10T08:15:56.669-04:00Della, if what you are saying is that if you can&#...Della, if what you are saying is that if you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen it may apply to me when you include stomach churning as an adjective. But in this case the story itself does sound like fun. I think it is wonderful to find a well-written book from someone who has an inside view of a section of life and tells a good story.Maltese Condorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327846051123983457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566219501850777383.post-30490595156287648242011-10-10T06:23:31.957-04:002011-10-10T06:23:31.957-04:00Della, my jaw dropped when I noticed a 'Litera...Della, my jaw dropped when I noticed a 'Literature Summary and Study Guide' to Bone in the Throat over on Amazon. Is this a mystery that needs a study guide?Peripherahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15534717949547090473noreply@blogger.com
