Oil on Water by Helon Habila
2.0
First off, it deals with an interesting topic, that I should definitley read up on because oil exploitation and its gruelsome consequences are happening - across the globe - right now. But the reason I gave the novel only two stars is the foggy and at times irritating atmosphere the narration creates. I know this is probably intentional as it reflects the characters' sorroundings and what they encounter but it made it really hard for me to actually enjoy reading the book.
