Synopsis
Prison is a harsh enough place, but being a foreigner in a strange land, and this ordeal becomes a lot more horrifying. This book chronicles T M Hoy's descent into the madness, horror, and insanity provoked by South-East Asian prison life. It shows you through his eyes the bizarre events of daily life in Thai maximum security prisons., Prison is harsh enough, but as a foreigner ("farang") in a strange land, jail time is an even more horrifying reality. Rotting in the Bangkok Hilton is a collection of short stories chronicling T. M. Hoy's descent into the harrowing world of Southeast Asian prison life. Through his eyes, readers will experience the bizarre events of daily life in a Thai maximum security prison: feel the weight of the chains he wears, the stomachaches from lack of food, witness the murders, drug overdoses, torture, and unbridled cruelty that ensues. Sentenced to life in prison, Hoy does his best to accept the fate he's been given. While attempting to "adjust" to this third-world hellhole, he contracts tuberculosis and nearly loses his life. Hoy's stories are brutal and his words are heart-wrenching. Go places you've only seen in your nightmares, to a world in which few survive, and none emerge unscathed . . . and if you're lucky, you'll die before you really begin to suffer.

- 1***1 (20)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseIt's on me for not reading the description of this being an ex-library copy. I was expecting it to be, but that's completely my fault. The product is exactly as described, in good condition and of good quality. Shipping was fast. Appearance good, no pages ripped and cover is not bent. It was sent in a bag instead of a box, though, which could have led to damage in shipping. Overall I'm happy and would buy from this seller again.
- s***8 (117)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis was an ex-library book, as had been mentioned in the listing. Just a few stickers here and there; nothing that would make it hard to read this graphic novel. It was shipped fairly quickly! Although the packaging could have been better, it managed to survive intact, so I'm happy! Condition is pretty good and nothing's missing. All in all, an excellent transaction and I'd buy from the seller again!

I contacted the seller and send them copies of the pages. They apologized for their oversight and rectified the issue. I appreciate the prompt communication and rectification of the issue. thanks.
