Thought this was a great, quick read. The story jumped between several story-lines in any given chapter but was definitely a great anthropological study on behavior. Having lived in Thailand, I could relate to lots of ideas in this book.
Mischa did a great job making this book seem very true to the culture of Thailand and Chiang Mai. Some of the descriptions brought me back to when I was exploring the region.
Parts seemed to drag on, but not enough to want to put the book down and not pick it up again. Also, the chapters were broken up enough to not feel obligated to spend hours with the book in one sitting. Good for a quick commute, long plane ride, or right before bed.
If they made a movie:
It might be an interesting indie one to see.
