Reviews for World Travel: An Irreverent Guide

Witty and fascinating ... a guide book that can't help but inspire - whether that's to set off on your own free-wheeling adventure across the globe or just to spend a weekend streaming Bourdain's favourite movies is left to the reader's discretion * independent.co.uk * Witty and anarchic * National Geographic * The late, great chef Anthony Bourdain travelled the world extensively in search of the best places to eat and, in this book, finished by his long-time assistant, Laurie Woolever, we can travel the world with him and discover his favourite dishes and restaurants, from cumin ribs in Shanghai to hot dogs in his native New Jersey. At a time when all we can do is armchair travel, this is a much-needed escape. His writing is funny, honest and evocative, and makes for an entertaining read you can dip in and out of, a country at a time, or devour all in one go * Olive * An exhilarating whirlwind tour.... Anyone who loved and misses Bourdain will want this book * Kirkus Reviews * There will never be anyone quite like Anthony Bourdain. But World Travel offers readers the potential to travel the world as he did * Fortune * It's the World According to Tony - a browsable compendium of his matchless commentary on worthy destinations in 43 countries * People * Bourdain's final book gives readers insider knowledge of his favorite global locales.... Fans of 'Parts Unknown' will want to add this to their spring reading lists * CNN * The late television host had dreams of creating a guidebook for all his favorite cities across the world, and his longtime assistant and collaborator took the notes from their singular brainstorming session and turned that dream into a reality * EW.COM * A collection of remembrances mixed in with a global travel guide, this collection of city-by-city tips and restaurant suggestions uses Anthony Bourdain's own words alongside Laurie Woolever's, making this a one-of-a-kind book honoring a one-of-a-kind soul * Good Morning America *
