You don’t need to find a beach book for our suddenly-summer weather — here is a real-life international mystery with some sort of connection to Capitol Hill Seattle.
We recently noticed a connection to our site from this blog — SEA to BKK. From what we can piece together, the site involves:
a) somebody who has (we assume) moved from Seattle to Bangkok
b) a recent book
and
c) a soon-to-be-release independent movie.
So far, there are only two posts. Here is part of the first:
I recently finished reading the book and was, frankly, surprised that I enjoyed it so much. Aside from a few typos, an historical inaccuracy that would have been easily corrected with even a small amount of fact checking, and a few geographical impossibilities able to be spotted only by a past or current resident of the Seattle area, it is a fairly engaging read for someone who lived through the era that the book covers. Whether it would hold any interest for anyone who did not live in Seattle from the mid 1990s to the early 2000s, I don’t know.
Aside from the missteps noted above, my only other complaints about the book are more based on personal vanity than anything else. To wit: I just wasn’t in it enough, and a couple of the finer points β to my mind β were omitted from the text. Well, that’s to be expected, I suppose. It wasn’t my story, after all. That’s why I’m documenting my version now, before early-onset Alzheimer’s and the debilitating effects of copious amounts of alcohol obliterate them from my mind.
The second post is a seemingly innocuous entry about dogs. Not sure what we stumbled upon but hopefully it continues to be interesting to watch play out. Is it real? Marketing? The link to CHS got our attention but we’re looking forward to the rest of the story.
