[Andr01d]

Abominable writing; a thinly veiled autobiography peppered with dull anecdotes and vulgarities. The premise of searching for the ingredients to complete a grandmother's ravioli recipe leading the author on a journey through his past and present relationships to his family is a good one, but the execution is flawed simply by a gross lack of talent. Do yourself a favour and dine out.

[AlannaJKing29]

Kind of raunchy, true, but an honest and kinetic writing style I have yet to see anywhere else.
