Query: A tape-worm hiding in the Tequila?

I enjoy books about culture clash. This one pits the Irish and the Persians. But it is so superficial. Every character is a stereotype with no depth. The good are goodie-good and the bad are ugly and crudely vulgar. And so much backstory tossed in interrupting the plot. And then plot resolution by tossing in an almost invisible character, Cat, who turns out to be a famous philosopher in Bulgaria. Please. And nasty Tom Jr.'s quickie redemption and weight loss by the ravenous tapeworm hiding in the Jose Cuervo bottle. This foodie-lit is giving me a stomach ache.
