An emotionally shattering book, yet exceptionally funny; the author had a witty and sardonic humour. So well written, and so real. The first half is a fun romp through 1970s Melbourne, though be warned that the second half can become a struggle to get through, due to some highly detailed descriptions of illness, and general despair. Such a rewarding read nonetheless.
