I finally finished reading the second book by Tony Parson.
DigiMetal - I would recommend Man and Boy to anyone, be it man or lady. It could perhaps give you an idea of how a man thinks and feels.
One for my Baby is a good read, however it did not touch me a much as Tony Parson's first book.
The character in the story, Alfie is an English as a foreign language teacher who had a stint in Hong Kong and found love there. However, his fairytale love life did not end happily ever after.
A tragic accident leads him back to mourn and sulk over his loss. He goes back home to London and struggles to kick start his life again.
So many changes happen in and around his life, he makes a dramatic change and becomes someone he never thought he could become as he starts to sleep around, meaningless sex without commitment.
Seen through the eyes of Alfie, you feel how he goes through his life without love and as he copes with all the destruction that happens around him. His life philosophies intrigue me and 'One for my Baby' is an enjoyable read indeed.
Sudu - I read the Kite Runner awhile back. I will have a read through and do a quick review. That book gave me nightmares.
