I like this book. Being set in KL, it defo gave that familiar sense especially the Rex being back in business. I believe the author succeeded in giving awareness to a lot of things: OCD, how mental health was treated in Malaysian society back then, May 13 brutal history, and defo race. To those that enjoyed this book and would like to learn more on May 13, I recommend reading ‘Life After: Oral Histories of the May 13 Incident by Members of the May 13 Oral History Group’.
