Simon meets a dog that has a bone better than his. The trick is... this bone belongs to Simon's reflection! Funny story that leans toward acceptance.

This sprawling novel tells the tale of two WWII Australian POWs who develop an unlikely friendship. The novel won awards for its portrayal of how war affects the men who are forced to participate and the families that have to cope with their deep scars after the war. It was vaguely reminiscent of Steinbeck in its descriptions of the hard scrabble settings of the Australian country. I was glad to have learned about this acclaimed author.

When you enter this dystopian world you are quick to remember that life may be easier outside of this world. Everything is very regimented within this military world before you know it you are trying to shield your arms thinking you may also have special powers that are illegal.

Imaginative & entertaining fable stories with a lesson at the end. Even if the stories weren’t short, it would still be a quick read. Fun to read on a rainy day.

Amazing setting, decent character development, good plot. I found the love story a little contrived and the environmental tone a little heavy-handed but overall a haunting story and I'm glad I read it.

Liked the book!!! Wanted to see how it finished!!

This was a cute novel

Good book! Had me interested

The second in this series was even better than the first! This author can spin a yarn. I love the scenes and dialogue, and there are plenty of plot twists and turns to keep you wondering.

It was OK slow start
