Negative Positive
Title: Unabridged 14cd Great beginning then slow to even almost crawling
Review: I love Malaysia been there many times and to so many of the towns that were mentioned so I REALLY WANTED TO LIKE THIS STORY.The beginning was about Johnny Lim. His childhood to his crooked adults years had me fascinated. Worthy of a 5 starThe middle part was more about Johnny Lim's wife her disappointment that Johnny never wanted to make love to her.Her fascination with a Japanese man who spent a lot of time with them. This was slow and not overly interesting. Worthy of a 2 starThe ending was about repeating so many things that were already told in the middle but by Johnny's British friend's memory and views on them. Boring.Worthy of a 1 star.Overall I can't recommend this book even after that brilliant start. It was Tash Aw first novel and his following books hopfully will be more tightly woven together without repeating so many minor plots twice.
