The imagined world of an adolescent male in late 1980s Brisbane, grounded in an at-times very gritty reality. Well written. No linguistic pyrotechnics, just authenticity and fairly simple language telling a grand tale of hope, courage, persistence and the goodness in people.
After getting used to the authors writing style, I began to be able to appreciate the story line more. The last 30 pages I could not put it down!

A wild and wonderful tale, made even more meaningful learning that it is semi-autobiographical. Full of darkness and light and lots of heart.
