Comment on The Windup Girl: A Review by Princess

The only problem I had with this book is that it was not niecsce-fictiony enough, if that can be a critique. I have been to Thailand many times, and I actually found the discussion of the characters, the relationship between the Chinese to the Thai, the attitudes of the Thai to the farang and the intrigue that takes place all the time there to be very believable. I don’t speak any Thai, but I was completely immersed in this world because it is so accessible. It’s almost like he threw in the Windup Girl, the spring-guns and spring technology, the Megodonts and the Globally dominant seed companies as an afterthought, becausse for me this was just a good yarn that didnt really go anywhere until the last few pages. And because I love rambutan, I knew right off the bat that was the fruit he was describing. They are very tasty, but hard to get here.
