I actually downloaded this for my husband when it was free on kindle recently. He's a bit of a foodie, so I thought it would be right up his street, and although he wasn't so sure he gamely gave it a go. By the time he was a quarter of the way in however, he was telling me it was the best book he'd read in ages and that I had to read it.
So now I have read it, and he definitely has a point - it's a very good read. It's hardly surprising that a restaurant critic can write, and this male-confessional novel with a garnish of satire proves that admirably.
If you like Nick Hornby, give this a go.
We liked it so much, we are now on a mission to hunt down Jay Rayner's other books.
