“The
Big Weird is an excellent read, charming, amusing, insightful,
complex, localised yet startlingly universal in its themes.”
—Guide of Bangkok
“A
good read, fast-paced and laced with so many of the locales
so familiar to the expat denizens of Bangkok.”
—Art of Living (Thailand)
“Like
a noisy, late-night Thai restaurant, Moore serves up tongue-burming
spices that swallow up the literature of Generation X
and Cyberpsace as if they were merely sticky rice.”
—The Daily Yomiuri
“Whether
you are a local, resident or a tourist, there are golden
nuggets to be found in The Big Weird.”
—Bangkok Post Sunday Magazine
“Highly
entertaining.”
—Bangkok Post
“The
Big Weird exemplifies a writer who is in control of his
material. [It]demonstrates that at last we have an author
who understands the abyss between the dreams and aspirations
of westerners hoping for a new life in an Asian land and
the often-harsh reality that they find.”
—Professor Paul Wilson, Criminologist and Dean,
Humanities and Social Science, Bond University
