You would be too if you ve been knocked unconscious on your first date in 27 years only to awaken in a beautifully appointed apartment that looks like a page from Tatler Magazine.
Last time she checked, the film student-turned-book researcher was renting a tiny room in a flat, so what...more

Undercover Tai Tai is my first Maya O. Calica book, and I bought a copy as a thank you to her for giving us a pep talk for National Novel Writing Month. I have been wanting to read another one of the Asian chick lit novels republished by Anvil in the Philippines after I read Amazing Grace , so I thought it was just timely to get this, too.

I was expecting to love this one but sadly, that didn't happen.

Flew through this book. It was kind of mindless, but fun, I have to say. I really liked that it was set in Singapore and it is the first piece of chick lit I've read that has a real South-East Asian feel. Yes, of course, undercover agents don't go around calling each other “Agent A" or “Agent O" on a regular basis (especially when in public), but overlook the finer spy details and this book really does have its moments. The author writes pretty well too and at last there's some good vocabulary i...more
Pretentious. Wannabe.
Too much Brand-dropping. The writer has to learn from Jackie Collins.
Poor characters and settings and, everything. It was as if the writer tried so hard to impress, to convince the readers that she has knowledge of high society, she ended up sounding like a maid boasting about her mistress.
Half-baked plot.
No wonder the book cost me less than a plate of good 'nasi lemak'.
