review 1: I enjoyed the book at first and then became indifferent. The story is about a high flying farang gangster who tries to figure out who blew him and the godfather up. It seems typical of a thriller - guns, nerves of steel, crafty smart protagonist who can tap the unlimited corrupt/gangster connections to best the villains. I enjoy descriptions of Bangkok but some other descriptions of activities seemed a bit too details and distracted from the plot. The writing is pretty good, but I would tell others they ought to read only if the subject or setting interests them.
review 2: Set primarily in Thailand, this is a running narrative by an adopted westerner into a Thai extended family with many interests both legitimate and illegitimate including a crocodile farm tour... moreist attraction that also doubles as a disposal site for bodies. Lots of shooting as various factions and families battle for control. There is also a kidnapping of one of the family members at the recovery attempts. There is lots of atmosphere in this one. It makes Bangkok look like a dangerous place to live. less
