A review by liberrydude
The Godfather of Kathmandu by John Burdett

2.0

Farang, if I tell you that this book was a chore to read would you believe me? This book tries to do too much and has too many tangential plot lines. It doesn't get going until the half way point. It's too long and the plot is constantly twisting which can be both stimulating and annoying. There's enough here for two separate books. Farang, the author tried to do too much. In addition to the normal sex and drugs we have the Free Tibet movement, Hollywood, jewels, triads, tantric sex, Nepal, and Hong Kong. Sonchai really has to work for the answers in this one and we're not sure if we like the person he is becoming either. But I'm still ready for book five and so is my karma.
