Well that was disappointing.
I picked up Kitchen because it was a cute little paperback with an interesting cover, printed on interesting paper, the author’s name is Banana (cool!), and because I’d recently returned from BlogHer Food. I was infected by Foodies.
I picked it up on Saturday (or was it Sunday?) because it was due back soon and because it was short. I needed something short.
Oy. It was indeed short. Extra short since I didn’t read the second story tacked on at the end of the book. It was not really related to Kitchen and I figured suffering through Kitchen was enough.
OK Maybe suffer isn’t the right word. But it surely wasn’t as good as I’d hoped. It was weird and not in a good way. I kept saying “Huh? WT… Huh?” all the way through it.
It had transgendered people in it, for goodness sakes. I should have loved it. But I definitely didn’t love it. I’ll blame it on the translation.
