I had to read this for my english class when I was like 11-14. Absolutely horrible. Don’t do this to children please. I still remember how dull and boring it was. The pace is too slow, the characters are impossible to connect with. I didn’t discover until now that the story was set in Australia. Maybe I’m biased because it was a compulsory reading, but I think I’d feel the same if I read it by my own will.
I’ll leave matters of representation and portrayal of natives to the natives themselves, as I’m not australian and therefore I have no idea about the situation in Australia.
