Review title: Repetitious Tripe Product review: "Tell me Farang", how does it feel to know you threw ten bucks down the toilet. Burdett's first effort was a heroic surprise and garners a charitable 2 stars for this throwaway -- a cynical, cloyish, BORING effort to rake in the cash. A singular dearth of ideas, uncommonly purple prose, and a patronizing view of Thais and Farang alike. Look, if you need a vicarious make-believe Thai thrill whose extreme literary pretentiousness raises it just above a virtual Patpong hand-job, then, well, plunk down your chips and -- the real price tag -- your precious time. I'd awaited this follow-up eagerly. Now I think it would be a tender mercy if Burdett returned to lawyering and laid down his pen.

Product review: But this is a terrible book. Very disorganized, limited samples, poorly explained source code. Don't waste your money. There are much better books out there.

Product review: This book was really helpful to me. I thoroughly recommend it. Written with great detail about every little part of The Sims and Livin' Large. If you're a Sims fan, YOU NEED THIS BOOK!

Review title: The worst book I've ever tried to complete Product review: I read til page 65,then my brain short circuited.I thought the whole idea of goblins being responsible for President Kennedy's assassination,ridiculous beyond belief.Let the man rest in peace.Don't drag him into cheap storylines.I like folklore,but this book was definitely too weird for me.
