This book was a perfect combination of history, information, comedy and intrigue. It made me want to never visit Australia because of all the dangerous flora and fauna, but I have such a desire to see all the people and places that he talked about. It does have a couple swear words, if that bothers you. I learned so much about Australia, and my book club will be reading this, this month.
This was a good book. It definelty makes me want to travel to Australia. I also learned about the country of Australia. Lots of fascinating information. Since this is considered non-fiction be ready for a journal type of story.
Everyone in the book club seemed to like the book though most of us had not quite finished it: so, interesting, even enjoyable, but not riveting - though all of us planned to finish it. I learned so much about Australia. Discussion topics aplenty.
He is funny, but also does give us some history and a sense of the flora and fauna of Australia. A good mix of a travelogue and other assorted stuff. I enjoyed it.
