First of all, his writing style is very mature. I was almost convinced that maybe it was an older gentleman writing under not only a pseudonym but a fictitious personality, as well. The parts about the champagne and the ‘my underage tastebuds’ threw me off a bit. Made me second guess the author. And the sheer amount of food that was served and consumed blew me away. I found it almost unbelievable. Obviously I have never dined as a diner should.
Besides those discrepancies, the author is very well-spoken and articulate and describes an experience that I was able to visualize without even closing my eyes. I look forward to the time when I may write as vividly.
