Excellent book
Highly recommended. This is an excellent book and as real as it gets. I have read the book several times. It really helps you understand why so many predatory low lives wind up in Thailand chasing prostitutes. It really is very interesting.

Not much new here
The author tries to depict a cross section of aging customers, some human slaves working in debt bondage after being sold (often by their parents) to a brothel. This volume is interchangeable with any number of of other sociological tomes. some of the helping organizations-but it doesn't hold together very well as a book unless you have been living on another planet of late. The inclusion of sex in the title is somewhat misleading as this could just as easily be about poor Pakistanis in slavery to brick kilns.

this book is good
the real truth of the relationships between the prostitutes and the "farangs" is exposed in detail. this book is very informative and blows the lid off the illusion of paradise that thailand is perceived by many to be. if you want to know why men seek out these prostitutes, how long the relationships last, why the prostitutes treat the johns as they do, and if you want to understand the miscommunication and false feelings that go on between john and prostitute, this is the book to read. the harsh reality of thailand is exposed.
