Thanks for taking the time to send me your thoughts.

The Karaoke World of Cortous Haire is one of the few books that I’ve picked up in Asia that made me laugh, cry, shout out loud and, most importantly, really think closely about my own journey in this part of the world. Thanks for writing such a memorable book. All my friends will know about it soon.

You definitely have a very vivid imagination. What a wonderfully strange and thought provoking tale! We’re all potential stars…in Laos! Thanks for a great novel!

I must admit, it took a really focused reading session to get into it. But every time I put it down, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. You’ve obviously written something that tremendously impacted me! Loved the way the story ended. It will be recommended to all my friends and colleagues. Well done!

Your writing is "waaaay good". You can turn a phrase very

well, you can combine ideas and metaphors well and your writing is intelligent. Lots of wit and innuendo in this novel. An outstanding book!

I was rivetted. A novel to remember!Great dialogue between the characters.

Definitely one of the better books that I've read in the last few years. The sections taking place in Singapore were particularly strong. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

An absolutely fantastic read. This book should be made into a film!
