The 10 PM Question by Kate De Goldi
Adversity
(8.5)This story is character driven and peppered with wonderful distinctive characters. De Goldi has a talent for characterisation, and you can see genuine affection for the personalities she has created in Eddy's world.
The book cover said, "A novel which defies all age categories".
I disagree entirely .
The main characters are all teenagers and the adults are larger than life and not credible. So that makes it a teen novel in my book.I thought the mother, who was a central figure, was just not credible given the role she has in the book. It was all just so bloody perfect how all the flaws never really got in the way.
How his father wandered around "without his underpants" in front of his teenage daughter, made to sound funny but can you imagine that really being funny? Having raised one daughter I can't. And don't get me started on the Aunties!
Don't get me wrong though. For a teen novel that deals with mental illness and dysfunctional parents it's actually pretty good and well written as long as you accept it for what it is and it isn't an adults novel.… (more)
