"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
"Whether you are a local,
resident or a tourist, there are golden nuggets to be found
in The Big Weird."
-- The Bangkok Post Sunday
Magazine
“The Big Weird exemplifies
a writer who is in control of his material. This book like
this others 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, except from Preface to The Big Weird
"Highly
entertaining."
-- The Bangkok Post
"Like his previous cult
classics including A Killing Smile and Comfort Zone, The Big
Weird is big fun and bulging with barstool wisdom. 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
