Summary

Thailand 1996. The Year of The Rat. Pete, a young travel writer, wanders into a Bangkok go-go bar and meets the love of his life. Joy is the girl of his dreams, young, stunningly pretty, and one of the Zombie Bar's top-earning pole dancers.

What follows is a roller-coaster ride of sex, drugs, and deception, as Pete discovers that his very own private dancer is not all she claims to be. And that far from being the girl of his dreams, Joy is his own personal nightmare.

I read this book about 8 many years ago when I was working in Hong Kong.
it gives a great insight into the culture of Thailand, of which I have visited many times and have friends there.
My copy of the book has done a few rounds around my office where I have handed it to anyone I hear travelling to Thailand.
Well worth a read or listen if you are thinking of travelling to Thailand.
There is one error in the reading in chapter 36 at 13:18. it was joy not Joe.

Amazing book

I have to admit I was hooked at the start and then began to believe I had select a duff book. I kept going because I hate giving in on a book. After about a third of the way I was intrigued and annoyed in equal measure. There were times I felt I was listening to a training manual for the sex industry of Thailand.
Points and issues were repeated over and over and I began to be frustrated by the main character.
Then the book just got better and I was desperate to see how it panned out, and the pace hotted up like a thriller. With a number of shocks and twists on route.
Narration was excellent with great characterisation.
So a mixed bag but glad I traveled all the way with it

Great story with too much repetition
