An interesting read with a lot of history of Indonesia. It kept me hooked and I at some level enjoyed it but at the same time the content is so crazy and has so many warnings that I consider was it really necessary to have all that in the story.

caitmckinney's review against another edition

Intended to read for the "in translation" square of Seattle book bingo, but after a strong opening, we moved into the r*pe of livestock and I thought "Is this going to keep going?" and a bunch of reviews say it does and gets worse, so I think I'll need to find another option.
