Bangkok 8, Bangkok Tattoo now Bangkok Haunts

I sure did read Bangkok 8, and my opinion of it sticks.

I do agree with the Washington Post's assertion, though, that the genre is populated mostly by "arrested adolescents".

Burdett may be one of the better ones, but he's still far from "brilliant".

[Lunchtime O'Booze]

do you think that's true ?..my true hero was always Quention Crisp-the biggest softie there was.

I wonder if any of us are featured in this book as characters ?..imagine the potboiler one could write using Pattaya charcters..perhaps Jackie Collins should be commssioned ( now Babs Cartland is dead).

You can't bring yourself to admit you are wrong, can you?
I find a major reviewer calling Burdett a "wonderful writer" yet you find it not credible to call him brilliant. Readers, again, who are you going to believe? Literary critics or sourpus BG?

I suggest that everyone read this book and decide for themselves. How's that?

I agree. Give Bangkok 8 50 pages and if you don't like it, you probably won't like this writer.
