This wasn't one of those biographies that lets you feel like you could really understand and walk through a person's life. Instead, it felt heavily biased and not that well-written. Were there moments that shed light on the person Anthony Bourdain really was behind the TV persona?...maybe. But things didn't have an overall genuine feel. It felt more like a money grab and somewhat hastily put together. There also seemed to be a lot of bitterness toward Asia Argento. Whether or not her relationship with Tony was troubled was beside the point. The heavy-handedness toward portraying her as a villain was just too much. There was a lot of focus on the bad and the downfall rather than a picture of Anthony's life as a whole. I much prefer reading the words that Tony himself wrote, even if they don't show everything. They still feel more real than this narrative did.
