Review
"Karmic Ties" universal themes of loss of innocence, greed and corruption, man's inhumanity to man- and their inevitable karmic consequences- have rarely been as vividly expressed as they are in the raw, new novel which functions on a multiple of psychological, societal, and spiritual levels. The world should pay attention to this one. You will never forget it." -- Jonathon Ray Spinney, Authro of The Awakening of Red Feather

"The Godfather" for Asia,
By
This review is from: Karmic Ties (Paperback)
One hell of a read! Can't wait for another from this first-time novelist. So well evoked, you'll feel like you're in Thailand... A warning, you might want to check your passport and dysentery shots before reading because this book is so detailed, it will transport you to the wonders and mystique of Southeast Asia.

A great book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Karmic Ties (Paperback)
Karmic Ties is a classic, realistic story of a young man's rise from extreme poverty to the pinacle of power. Although it is of special interest to anyone who loves Thailand the book is a very interesting, educational, and entertaining read for anyone looking for something that is better than 95% of the mass market best sellers. Can't wait for this first time authors' next book. Highly recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars
a slow read, but sometimes interesting,
By david a gray (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Karmic Ties (Paperback)
I found the book interesting in that we get a lot of exposition about Thailand from someone who obviously loves the place. The story and characters, however, were weak and uninteresting. Had the author tried a travel guide, it would've been a heck of a good one.
