It's good to know that you enjoyed the trilogy.

As for what happens with Nazri, it was on purpose that I left it that way because while I was writing, there came a realisation that sometimes we don't get the answers to everything in life (though sometimes we do get them later on, a few decades later). All the 'what ifs' and little things that go unanswered, how do we cope with it? That's what I try to bring out in Obsesi.

My next book, fingers crossed, maybe entitled CULIK. It's the only story I'm working on (on and off) now, as I am kinda hand tight with mentoring young writers this year. Reading all their manuscripts takes up time that I should spend on writing.(less)

This story doesn't have a climax to it, not a strong or obvious one anyway. It's like reading a slice of life back in the olden days. It is well written, just lack the bit of drive that makes picking it up after putting it down a difficult task. ...more

This book started off strong. Then the two thirds at the back started to read repetitive; the same concept repeated in different ways.
