Yeh it was a little like MothSmoke -- but rather like the sequal.
The general theme of both books was the same -- out of place good guy turning black or grey and his journey. But in MothSmoke, its an older crowd and deals more with Pakistan's internal problems where as TRF is more about problems facing the foriegn based Pakistani -- who not a mullah but isn't completely a Cancun going drunk teenager.

The writing style is similar as well - both are from a narative perspective.
I would recommend reading both..
