5.0 out of 5 stars i think he understands indonesia, 6 Jul 2002
For me, it was very interesting to read a book about my own country.

I like the book because the author is not arrogant - in my country we say sombong. He understands that my country has problems with corruption but now there is reformasi and perhaps in the future my country will be free.

I very like the way he talks about the IMF and how they are not really friends of my country but friends of America and big financal business.

I think if you read this book you will understand my country more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indonesia's "The Beach" - but better, 9 Jul 2002
By A Customer
I was extremely happy to find this book for my Summer Hols. Like The Beach, Alan Brayne explores the darker side of a South-East Asian paradise. However, unlike Alex Garland's best-seller, Jakarta Shadows is a fast-paced thriller which pulls no punches. It also challenges the reader to question whether Indonesia has really made "progress" since the overthrow of Suharto and the advent of democracy.
As so
