Firstly I wish to thank Sarah Hardy of Book On The Bright Side Publicity and Promo for inviting me on the Blog Tour for Cold Fusion 2000 by Karl Drinkwater

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Alex Kavanagh is a pedantic physics geek – a teacher who hates teaching, a lover who’s always getting dumped, a writer whose articles all get rejected, a 28-year-old still living at home and bullied at the bus stop by teenagers – and he’s just had the worst day of his life. Things can only get better, right?

Enter his ex, Lucy, in what seems to be a chance meeting. Her betrayal marked the point when his life went nuclear. But – holy protons! – he still loves her.

Two problems. First, she isn’t who he thinks she is. Second, she’s going to leave him forever in 72 hours.

Cold Fusion 2000 is a haunting novel about a man who’s too rational to believe in ghosts and too short-sighted to see what was in front of him all along.

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS AND REVIEW

Alex, at 28, has a disastrous love life behind him and a life that he hates. A total geek, a teacher that knows his subject inside out but struggles to really connect with either his colleagues or students and an immaturity about him that made me really cringe. He is childish with his teenage sister and still lives at home with some pretty unusual characters coming and going whenever they want. Then the unexpected happens Lucy the love of his life pops back up again.

Since Lucy walked out on him, he seems to have been stuck in a rut, he had struggled with the opposite sex more than anything. Not your typical bloke at that age. Really read every sentence because there will be that nanosecond every so often that your brain kicks in and with a ‘what was that’ and ‘that can’t be right’ thought. Well, listen to it. What a clever author, digest every sentence and store everything.

The more the story evolved and the more I softened to Alex who knew the Lucy of old so very well, even after all this time. Her thoughts and the intimacies that he had relived so many times. This is such a beaut of a storyline, go with your feelings and go with Alex’s. Brilliant!

I wish to thank Book on the Bright Side Publicity and Promo for an e-copy of this book which I have reviewed honestly.
