I wish I could write like [this author].

A book I love.

The book that probably influenced me more than any other.

Incredible.

I re-read it frequently. Particularly when visiting Vietnam.

A classic I loved as a child.

[This book] is everything.

The font of all wisdom. [The author] is right about nearly everything.

Filthy, dangerous, depraved groundbreaking. And funny as Hell.

Anthony Bourdain tweeted about this book.

One of the truly great books.

A fucking masterpiece.

A book I’ve read many times but keep coming back to.

Anthony Bourdain's answer to "what’s the last book that made you laugh?

The world needs [this book].

I particularly like [this book].

Elegant, deliciously immoral entry in series of sociopath as hero.

[The author] was a revelation when I first read [this book].

[The author] gets to the heart of the matter.

Rejuvenating, excoriating genius.

The best, most realistic crime novel ever. Best dialogue in a crime novel ever.

A masterpiece.

Very, very good.

Violent. Twisted. Hilarious and beautiful.

I particularly like [this book].

This is—and will remain—an essential account for anyone considering travel to Vietnam.

[The author's] memoir of meals in Paris before and after the war, and it’s fantastic.

[The author] managed to convince a goodly number of the world's best, and best-known, chefs to let it all go.

An absolutely wonderful exploration of the poorly understood sport of MMA.
