The story left me a little lost. Perhaps that was the point. (  ) whitebalcony | Aug 29, 2007 | Possibly the only book I've ever read by an Australian author - or at least the only one I've read to have actually been situated in Australia. It's a fine book, a tale of a geologist that follows him from his middle-childhood through to college, and on to becoming a father. It is, at times, a sad story, of things going wrong, and about good guys who don't come first. ( ) soylentgreen23 | Jan 5, 2007 | An ok book. Good in the sense that it takes you for a walk in Melbourne. The plot is a bit redundant. (  ) hanzoganz | Jun 16, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review
