O is a story of a female monkey that wants to get married with a king of dangdut. Absurd? Yes, as usual Eka Kurniawan again will fascinate his readers with an awesome story.
Eka still delivers his story with lots of characters, several of them are animals such as monkeys, birds, dogs, rats and even pigs, they all will mingle and share their lives with human. Not only the characters, the plot is also unpredictable. Every time you turn into a new page, you mostly will meet a new character with his own life story. No worries, all of these characters are quite strong, you will easily involve with them, and they have proportional portion in the book. You just need to enjoy each of the page. Don't think too much. Let it flow. When you finish reading it, you will get a big picture of the story and feel amazed.
After reading almost all of Eka's works, I admit that I love his works. It's a well-prepared stories with strong characters, rich plot, a philosophical message, adventure and even a love story. Eka is a complete author. One of the best among Indonesian authors. No wonder if he's nominated in the Man Booker Prize 2016. He created great works. Even some people said that Eka is our next Pramoedya Ananta Tour.
