Reviews of Gone Bamboo

A cross between The Sopranos and Baywatch; if you enjoyed Bourdain's debut novel Bone in the Throat, you'll love this one. Henry and Frances are the new Bonnie and Clyde – you'll be rooting for them all the way. * Crime Time * New York chef / crime writer Anthony Bourdain's characters are tough-talking, streetwise no-gooders who know there's more than one use for a meat cleaver … this makes for another deliciously dark comic creation. * GQ * A recipe for a plot that is delicious and hilarious. * The Times * A thoroughly enjoyable thriller with comic touches. * Time Out *
