Review: Didn't know what to expect - This book was recommended by a friend, but I forget why her review got me interested. Whatever it was, apparently it didn't spark what I expected, as the style and content of the story were something of a surprise to me. A young man in not-very-good financial circumstances, ill-used by his father and doing a slow burn since childhood, comes home to a shocking discovery and heads out for the territories where no one will find him. The tale of his fairly resourceful activities after that and his sometimes also-shocking remembrances - which he goes over in his head frequently - is, to put it mildly, absorbing. Told in Australian idiom and slang, it might take a bit of getting used to, but it certainly isn't dull. I'm a slow reader (I like to savor passages) and I zipped right through this. Tim Winton, the author, is a premier Australian writer who has been short-listed a few times for the Booker Prize, and deserves the accolades.
Review: The Australian Landscape is the Star - I'm a huge Tim Winton fan and have to say this isn't one of my favourites. It's an interesting read, albeit disturbing in a multi-layered way which I'd have to give away plot to explain. If you haven't read any of Winton's work before, I'd recommend you don't start with this one. Instead try The Riders or Dirt Music or Cloudstreet. If you're into short stories which is a good way to get into Winton's work try his book The Turning. This one takes a little more effort due to the dialogue, but as in all of Winton's work the Australian landscape is the star.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read it. You won’t be sorry.
*by P***E on August 21, 2018*

At first I thought I wouldn’t like it because his culture specific terminology was hard to follow, but it wasn’t long before I was thinking in his terms. The book is a read that keeps pulling the reader along and while it seems as if the author could just speed things up a bit, I kept reading because I wanted to know what happened next. And I read to the very end... The characters are believable and genuine. I wanted them to survive and succeed, even though I thought they probably wouldn’t. It is a refreshing read and even though the protagonist is a youth, I identified with him and even wanted to make suggestions. I passed the book along to my grandson who is fourteen.
