Rambal Rambal rambal — I ordinarily hate books like this, but this one was pretty okay. I didn't loathe it.

Alternatif Home alternatife410 — The beginning is really interesting. He talks about his experience with food as a kid, his epiphany (losing his food "virginity" in France to an oyster), his out of control period at college and C.I.A. (not the spy factory, the Culinary Institute of America). It's great again at the end as he speaks about his second epiphany, his trip to Japan. I wanted to hear more about this, but I guess there's a book about that that I will have to read. I liked best the parts where he speaks about his motivations, why he adores food and why he continues with this awful business. It's kind of boring in the middle when he starts dropping names and places and tries to be instructive to the reader about why one kitchen/chef/restaurant is better than another. I think you either love or hate Anthony Bourdain. He's a pain in the ass, but he knows it and is unapologetic about it, which is refreshing. He also gives credit where credit is due--also refreshing--and freely admits when he effs up. Took me a long time, too long, to listen to this... don't have a CD player in the car anymore and I don't enjoy listening at home. I get distracted and can't hear and have to backtrack and it's a waste of time. But Bourdain himself narrated, and his voice and delivery are perfect for the subject. 3.5 stars

Ivan Mayorov ivan_mayorov — Helene Cooper was born in Liberia, the daughter of two established family lines dating back to the early settlement from America. The family was well-to-do, living in a huge mansion by the ocean, complete with servants, cars, private school. The family adopted a local girl named Eunice who grew up with Helene as a sister. After a coup in 1980, the family was among the hunted. Ultimately they escaped to the States, leaving Eunice behind in war-torn Liberia. Helene grew up and became a correspondent with the Wall Street Journal. After a near death experience covering the war in Iraq, Helene decided it was time to return to Liberia to locate her sister. I knew very little of the history of Liberia - I know more now as a result of reading this. A couple times I felt like the history got tedious, but it is short sections. Found myself getting emotionally caught up in the turmoil and violence as it unfolded.
