If you want to learn about some of the culture in Australia you should read this book.
Technically in the crime section, The Tall Man almost transcends genre. It is a beautifully written narrative, with a neutral tone about a very controversial subject - the mistreatment of indigenous Australian's and their deaths in custody. The power that white man has had since they invaded is highlighted in this tragic story. Expect to cry and be angered by injustice.
One of the most powerful books ever written on racism in Australia, the fear and powerlessness of the police barricaded from the rioters particularly filled with ironic paradox of what disempowered Aboriginal people live with every day
why are all the one star review like 'she wasnt very nice to the police' girl she was plenty compassionate also its a book about police violence be fr

Utterly harrowing, every single page. I had intended to read this book year’s ago and wished I’d done so much sooner. Chloe Hooper’s writing is impeccable and this had me gripped from the beginning.
