World Travel: An Irreverent Guide

Loved AB travels and am enjoying reading this book.

This is like a travel guidebook but with a difference. It lists Bourdain's favourite places to eat in each country. I didn't read the entire book. The book lists 43 countries. Each country is a chapter. I just read the countries that I am interested in. Bourdain's travel style is unique. He stays in uber-luxury 5-star resorts and eats in roadside shacks and hole-in-the-wall restaurants.It's distressing that Bourdain never got to see this book. It was published after his death.

Was expecting more commentary by Mr Bourdain. Felt more like an episode with repeated advert interruptions.

I received this copy of World Travel: An Irrelevant Guide written by Laurie Woolever with inputs from the famous celebrity chef turned traveller/writer, Anthony Bourdain, from Bloomsbury India as a review copy.This almost 500-page travel book covers over 40 different places across the world and briefly tries to give some insight with quotes directly coming from Bourdain himself.I am not sure how much of the world one can get to learn about from this book, but I know for a fact that this is a great parting gift that you could give to yourself or someone who you know was just as shook as you were when you heard about what Bourdain choose to do with his life.Even though there’s a lot of insight about how his equation with others was, it still lacks the magic or the mood to hold it all together.This irrelevant guide is what it says it is, irrelevant. Even though I am not challenging the accuracy of all that is written here, I still feel that it doesn’t give you a lot of information.Maybe things would have been different had he been alive, and it sucks that isn’t.Easily Skippable if you are not a massive fan of Anthony.

With his travels, he was able to go to many cities, sometimes multiple times. So he ended up eating at some if the best restaurants feach city had to offer. Even if you don't expect to leave your province/state/country, seeing what other cities have name it a good read. I think Canada is around page 48.

I always loved listening to authors stories and shows, he's definitely missed! This book sits in my reading chair, current readGreat addition to my bookshelf

El libro me llegó perfecto y es una edición gruesa con una portada dura súper chida. La cosa con el contenido es que debido a su muerte es un libro escrito post mortem por una amiga suya. Entonces, el libro sí tiene frases de Bourdain de la serie y de algunas entrevistas pero no es una guia escrita por él. Dicho eso yo soy una persona muy curiosa y los lugares que él propone y los platillos que te hace conocer son una cosa espectacular. Sí lo recomiendo pero no esperen leerlo mucho a él.

Nota 1.000

Anthony Bourdain ist einer meiner Helden. Er hat die Welt bereist und alles was lecker ist probiert und geliebt. Dieses postmortale Buch ist leider eine kleine Enttäuschung. Es ist eine Zitatensammlung aus seine verschiedenen TV Ausstrahlungen. Und wenige Kommentare dazu. Dann lieber die serie kaufen und von ihm gesprochen hören!
