2008-08-23 Buford is Best!

Like one or two other reviewers here, I'm astonished at those who found Buford's compelling take on his apprenticeship in Batali's famous NY institution, Babbo a 'yawn'. Far from it! It's an engaging and enticing read, and I never once felt it was too long or wished it would end. It's the kind of thing you take to bed, start reading, and then a glimpse at the clock reveals it's already 3am. And you still want to keep reading. Thoroughly gripping throughout. I kind of feel like I'm justifying this unnecessarily - you really just need to pick it up and start reading for yourself!
