Made in Australia

You sent a copy of your book on the proviso I told you what I thought of it... so let me just say it was wonderful.
I so enjoyed getting to know Max and his life. ... though I loved him and hated him in equal measure. There was his honesty, but also his dagginess. His unconstructed nature, but also his humour. I guess that means he was complex, like all of us. I was going to give the copy back to you so you could send it to someone else for their reading pleasure, but I'm afraid I've just given it to a lovely Irishman from Concord who built me a fence this week.

I started the book last night, and read until 3am. I finished the rest of it this morning ...(I'm a slow reader.)
... and loved the read. I thoroughily enjoyed the style, and the real and believable characters.
It made me laugh out loud, over and over again... and being a school teacher with forty years of reading examination papers behind me, that's a big statement.
