Book Reviews of The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs: A Novel
Book Review: "Bedroom Secrets," - a review.
Summary: 3 Stars
Irvine Welsh's novel includes three topics...sex, food, and celebrity. Oh yeah, let's not forget drugs. Would it be an Irvine Welsh story without drugs? Maybe. Would his avid readers be satisfied? Probably not.
This tale has it's central character, in the partying Danny Skinner. He's a restaurant inspector on a journey to find his father. His enemy is the computer geek Brian Kibby. He relentlessly picks on Kibby throughout the story, and learns that their lives are somehow linked.
Skinner reads the book, "The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs," written by celebrity chef, Alan De Fretais. He eventually believes that the book may hold the secrets to finding his father.
Skinner ends up leaving Edinburgh to travel to San Francisco. He returns to Scotland, and discovers more about his nemesis, Brian Kibby.
"Bedroom Secrets" is a bit of a twisted story, about rivalry, making it in the world, and finding oneself. Welsh's skills as a writer are shown once again, to be high above his contemporaries. Though not his best work, fans will not be dissappointed.
