Hello All, I have managed to not only read the book, but also to write a report. … Well, I read it. It didn’t take very long to read. It wasn’t irritating in any way. The revelation of what happened at The Basin was well done, and I thought that the tension over what role Uncle Paul was playing in the family was well done. The trip to the State Theatre was amusing. It is the one at 49? Market street I believe. I went to see alexei sayle there once, and the support act was the scared little weird guys, I think. They made some quip about normally playing at places a bit more ornate. I will steal Marg’s point, (assuming she gets a chance to make it) that I couldn’t quite imagine which age of reader it was aimed at. School librarians perhaps? Teenage girls suffering from a nervous breakdown, interested in stories from the point of view of precocious 6 year old girls? Gifted and talented 6 year old girls with an interest in australian history? The KGB? 3 stars from me. wayde.
