mgatta 's review for:
Cloudstreet
by Tim Winton
Cloudstreet was a really interesting book because it gives a good sneak peek into two aussie families living in western Australia in the middle of XX century.
The story is simple, but not predictable. Easy to follow and enjoyable in most parts.
I did not enjoy, however, the more "esoteric" parts of the novel. I was expecting the lives of two normal families and I couldn't get around the "weirdness" in the novel. It does give it personality, and I guess it contributes something to the novel. But it was not what I was expecting from the novel.
