 A MUST READ - BRILLIANT July 15, 2008
Not much I can say, expect Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant. I read it in a day!
Excellent And Frightening July 10, 2008
After visiting this jail when in Thailand i heard about this book and Warren Fellows from Prisoners Abroad.
Its true story and a frightening one too, which i might add should teach all readers something,"DO NOT DEAL OR TAKE DRUGS IN THAILAND".
It may be known as the "LAND OF SMILES" but you wont be smiling if you get caught
This is a book i could not put down and read in a few hours, only problem is, its was not long enough i wanted more more more
Superb & Sickening July 8, 2008
Ok, so i read this book in about 4 hours and could not put it down.
It was lent to me by a friend and i was not dissapointed. Whilst i agree that this man should have been sent to prison i cannot stop thinking about what the poor soul went through whilst there.
I would defiantly recommend this one to people who have half a strong stomach!
 Yes, But What use is it? June 12, 2008

This book was reccommended to me by a friend.
Now before I write this review I must make clear that in my estimation people who deal drugs are right up there with peodphiles and rapists. They are destroyers, plain and simple. Now Mr.Fellows states that he didn't deserve his fate, but then he would say this.
His book is well written which speaks to me of ghostwriting. He constantly attempts to impress upon the reader how no one deserves to lose the comforts of human dignity and compassion.
I believe he states that he was going to smuggle heroin, a drug known to be a destroyer of human dignity and compassion.
He states that anyone who thinks he deserved to experience such horrors as depicted in his book must be a monster. Then probably every person who has been degraded by the drugs he was willing to smuggle, and has survived the ordeal of recovery, must be a monster, for they would not thank him for his efforts.
I must be a monster. I read this book, I found his experiences to be terrible in the greatest sense of the word, yet I could not summon any form of sympathy for his predicament. This man obviously made dark and unhealthy choices in his life that led him to his own personal hell on earth.
At the end of his tale Mr. Fellows gives the impression that part of him remains in that hell. Perhaps he will write another book, a book that tells us how he has changed his ways and is using his experience perhaps to help others not to go the route of being a destroyer.
There is no such redemption in this book. It is written in a fashion to titillate and its "moral" is more along the lines of "Don't get Caught" than "Don't do Drugs".
One review of this book states "the author made the mistake of trying to traffic heroin..."
The author did not make a mistake, he made a choice, a concious choice
and
I choose not to praise him for it.
 Good book, but too short June 6, 2008
Finished this in two nights, its a interesting read, but felt that he could have written a lot more, and gone into more depth about his experiences, and the Thai system in general.
