Title: An Interesting Collection by a Talented Writer
Review: What's up with all these negative reviews? This is a strong collection that certainly does not deserve these pans. Each story in Heavy Water contains an interesting premise that Amis runs with and makes a successful story out of. For instance, in Career Move, the pop culture value of poems and screenplays have been reversed. It's an interesting idea and a funny story. The last piece, What Happened to Me on my Holiday is narrated by an 11 year old who is hard to understand. I think Amis did it this way because he did not want the story, a heartbreaking tale of the sudden death of a young boy, to be taken lightly, to be breezed over. This is an interesting collection. Give it a try if you are at all interested in Amis' work
