A series of interconnected tales set around a building in Bangkok. There are a few moments and narratives that link and make you go ooooh. A few stories are interesting to follow over the years - in particular I loved Mai and Pig. But it frequently feels disjointed, and it really suffers for a lack of dating - if every chapter started with the year it's set in it would flow SO much better. It jumps around times so much it becomes disorientating when they start talking about CD Players and internet when you swore they weren't invented yet. I like what it was trying to do and the glimmers where it worked were enthralling, they were just very few and far between.

Some parts were great, some - a bit boring. I think it would be much better, if it were shorter. But it did make me miss Bangkok.
