A. Rivera reviewed No Reservations by Anthony Bourdain
Review of 'No Reservations' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I will say that I am not a fan, but I have seen his show on Travel Channel a couple of times and liked what I saw. So, when I saw this in my local public library, I decided to take a chance on it. The photos are great, and this is mostly a photo book with some narrative. The book is definitely a pleasure to look through. Though there is little text, what is offered is thoughtful, considerate, and at times moving. Bourdain and his crew truly immerse themselves in the places they visit, and a reader cannot help but feel a wish to get up and travel as well. Indeed, the best places to eat are the little places where the locals eat. Find them and enjoy. Plus, nothing to make a bond better than a good drink or two.

I will definitely consider picking up his other books. We'll see.
