tien's review against another edition
3.0
I really don't know what it is that is so fascinating of Murray Bail's writing. I seem to not particularly care of the plot or characters but yet I can't seem to put the book down. I kept being drawn on and on to read. I think it's the way he describes life in general or rather life in Australia in general. The way he puts things into particular perspective that really speaks to me.
I'm still wondering how this title, "Holden's Performance", applies... You'd expect this Holden to be some extraordinary man and the thing is, there was nothing spectacular in his background or upbringing except for his photographic memory. In the end, his overall blandness made him exceptional.
