Well, I finished this one. Hmmmm.
I can't tell if this was not a very good novel, or it really was good and I'm hopelessly unqualified to make a judgment. I have no idea how I'm going to write a review of it.
It sometimes felt like each paragraph could have been one sentence and it felt like multiple paragraphs were sometimes the same sentence repeated, but wrapped in different obscure literary stylings. I felt myself having to reread paragraphs to try and "get" what the author was saying and even then it felt like a lot of guesswork.
Maybe a reread would give me a greater appreciation, but I don't really have time for a reread. When I catch up to this book for review, I'll just have to muddle through it. Maybe with some time my thoughts will be a little clearer.
Now for something I know will get the blood pumping. It's the second book in the Bangkok series by Simon Royle. This one is called
Bangkok Wet. I really enjoyed the first one (
Bangkok Burn) and I'm sure I'll enjoy this one as well.
