Book Reviews of Bangkok 8: A Novel
Book Review: Bangkok - Stunning and Different
Summary: 5 Stars
With Carl Hiaasen and James Ellroy both touting the book as something really good, I had to buy it and more than glad that I did. It was my favourite holiday read and I want more of this quality of writing on the book shelves now! (Also read on hols James Lee Burke's "White Doves in the Morning" - exquisite).John Burdett has written a book in the "who dunnit" genre, but has somehow managed to elevate it from the ordinary/mundane, cops and robbers novel. Buddhism, spirituality and the Bangkok sex industry are intertwined in a story that leaves you feeling that you've been there, lived the life and learned something. I am now fascinated by jade (you'll have to read to know what I mean). Bangkok is a stunning book,(hence the title of the review). I cannot recommend it enough. John Burdett has just become one of my favourite writers and I intend to read everything that he has written. Pls keep on writing Mr Burdett.
