Book Name : Heavy Water
Author : Martin Amis
What is it about : This collection of short stories are set in the modern days with ordinary peoples having not uncommon problems and their efforts in facing up to their dilemma - a few examples are, how a disabled person was cared for on a cruise boat, a married man having exhausted and regained his mojo.
Some thoughts after having read the book : Each story is completely different in style and texture which to me, this shows the depth and wit of the author's pen. A plain old read but packed with good descriptions and directions by the writer.
Would I recommend this book to you : A bit of a hit and miss. I think you will love it if you are a fan and wishing to see what the author comes up with this time. But I cannot imagine myself reading the book, say, sitting at the airport lounge, under a palm tree or relaxing at home. I was just happy to have read it and experience this author's insight into human behaviours. Give it a go !
