Independent Reading Check-In 2

The chapter I just finished in my book was really good. It was about Bourdain's trip to Las Vegas and I really enjoyed his insights about how hollow and falsely idealistic Vegas is. His food reviews were detailed and I was truly interested and excited about reading them. The chapter I am on now, "Are you a Crip or a Blood?" is entertaining but a bit confusing on what he thinks of each "gang". Sometimes his writing is really interesting and stimulating, but other times his big words and lengthy descriptions are repetitive and can be confusing. I also think his transitions are elementary.I feel like he is a good review writer (his descriptions are so detailed - I love this element) but as an author he is just OK. Maybe I'm just not interested in non-fiction writing - I don't know. I have a feeling that I will get a little tired of his writing style by the end of the book. I hope Mr. Bourdain's book will show me otherwise!
