Oxygen - Andrew Miller
Andrew Miller is a great writer and Oxygen is a very good book. Yet I don't give it 5 stars, but only 4. The reason is that once in a while I felt that reading this book was a task, not really a pleasure. I even put it aside for days on end, not certain if I wanted to continue. The four main characters all wrestle with feelings of guilt, maybe not always justified but there anyway. I could transport myself in their way of thinking and even found some things that happened in my life, even happens in my life that could be compared with the mental ordeals the characters have to go through. At the end decisions have been made and even when the results are not described on this book I can "feel" the weight of it on me. Sadness sometimes can't be lifted.
