Críticas

Gangster fiction to feast on. * * Independent * * Raw and cooking. Rare and well-done. -- AA Gill A superb tale of violence and backbiting set in the seething testosterone-heavy company of a crew of New York cooks, and simply towers head, shoulders and upper torso above everything else. * * GQ * * Wonderful fun, a perfect book to read at the beach. -- Michael Crichton * * New York Times Book Review * * A recipe for a very good read. * * Sunday Telegraph * * Sharp, funny . . . if it's gangster rap you want to read then Bourdain is your man. * * Express * * The snappy wise-guy dialogue is as sharp as the kitchen implements Bourdain puts to grisly use . . . The result is a saucy, spicy caper that slips down as easy as a sidewalk hotdog. -- Richard Rogers * * Observer Review * * Coming on like a cross between Nick Tosches and The Sopranos, chef Anthony Bourdain proves himself as adept with a pen as he is with the knife - no reservations. -- Cathi Unsworth * * Guardian Review * *

Reseña del editor

All is not well at the Dreadnought Grill . . . the chef has a smack habit, the owner has been set up by the FBI and in the midst of this, the sous-chef Tommy is just trying to do his job. As depraved as it is hilarious, Anthony Bourdain's first novel is street smart and spiced with drugged-up savvy, foul-mouthed feds and salty mob speak. With a cast of unforgettables like the hitman who covers himself in clingfilm to avoid leaving fingerprints and a plot with more twists than a plate of spaghetti, Bone in the Throat rocks through the streets of Manhattan at a blistering pace.
