Not for me

I was intrigued by the locale but for some reason, I just couldn't get into the book. The narrator seemed ok so I think it was the writing. Sometimes you just can't get into a book and it might have nothing to do with the book--maybe you just aren't in the mood for that style. For whatever reason, I didn't find this book all that great and couldn't finish it. It seemed to drag on.

Too offensive to listen to, personally.

I personally could not listen to this book. It was too full of coarse, obscene passages. I'm no prude, the occasional F*** word doesn't bother me, but this book's description should warn that it pushes the envelope in this regard.

The reader seemed suited to the prose, and here I am not implying anything bad. I didn't listen to enough of it to be able to comment on plot, characters, etc.

I was looking for more sense of Bangkok culture, without the debauchery.
