3.0 out of 5 stars Good picture of the era and time, March 26, 2009

By	Vince Dattoli - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was interested in this book for a better picture of what Burma was about, and I guess, for that period, it was educational. It was written in kind of a plodding British style, which I felt I had to mentally slow myself down for, which made for kind of a tedious read. I could only read so much at a time, without having to return to "normal speed" of existence. The story it told unfolded in a proper manner, and the ending at first was a bit of a surprise in a way, though in retrospect, was actually a logical conclusion. I really felt sorry for the dog. Worth reading if you want to endure a depiction of British occupation and one man's existence in a land way back when, but not if you're expecting an action packed or humorous novel, or a sense of what is Burma is like at this point in time.
