"No One Here Gets Out Alive, a best-selling bio of Jim Morrison, is Hopkins'S, most famous book. Seems he could have used the same title here."
-- Playboy --
"A Weird and wonderful book."
-- The Wall Street Journal --
"...You have to love a book with chapters titled Ears, Eyes, Noses, Lungs, Tongues, Lips, Gums, Glands and Feet. Well, maybe love is too strong a word, but if you want to read about food while squirming as if at a horror movie, Extreme Cuisine will do it for you."
