Title: The shape of water
Author: Andrea Camilleri
Published: 1994 (English Translation: 2002)
Genre: Fiction
The shape of water is one in a
series of Camilleri's Inspector Montalbano Mystery books. This was a
book club read that I would not have ordinarily chosen. It's a quick, simple
read that is humorous throughout - some parts of which I attribute to a loss in
translation of initial intended meanings. I also found some parts of the writing
somewhat stilted. I most definitely did not enjoy any of the jokes, which I
found quite juvenile, even in what is the realm of detective stories - which in
their own right are meant to be entertaining.
