A review by jezmondtutu
Amnesia by Peter Carey

2.0

I feel lied to by the blurb. The back cover describes only a very small aspect of the plot. The actual story did not grip me in any way, and the characters did not draw me to like, dislike or have any feels whatsoever. The majority of the book was overwhelmingly an attack on right-wing politics, and a seamless string of ocker Australian references, some of which were so obscure that the book would have no broad appeal outside the Australian market. Not Peter Carey's best work by a long shot.

On a positive note, I listened to this on audio, and the narration by Colin Friels was fantastic.
