I read this book, and it was just not my favourite.

I picked it up from the library because it was short and sweet and sounded totally bizarre. And it was.

Maybe Australian Literature is just not my favourite genre. Sad, because it's such a broad genre. I'm just not sure.

... in any case, I was a little bit disappointed by this book. The premise sounded really interesting -- but the book was just more or less, a non-event for me. I read it all the way through, so I didn't hate it.

But the book was just so slow-moving, and really not what I expected. Perhaps if I had formed a different picture of it in my mind before I read it, I might've liked it more.

Maybe it was the contemporary fable aspect that got me completely lost?

I don't know. It was just a non-event for me -- hard to describe, and frustrating! Wish I could offer more. c:
