This book was not for me. It came well-recommended, with an Australian setting, and an author born and living in Aotearoa. I was well prepared to enjoy it, but somehow my brain just couldn’t encompass the fantasy. Perhaps that’s a sign of ageing?
The lack of speech marks gave reading it an added hindrance, and I gave up at page 22. I wonder who else has read it, and what did you think?

I did not like the fantasy

I jav been studying the Film Festival Program many of the movies on offer seem to have a fantasy element. Not my cup of tea either.

The WORD festival has many good offerings.

I don’t read books without speech marks, as I’m not interested in working that hard. It comes across to me as an affectation on behalf of the writer, which is okay – they’re allowed to write however they want – but it makes reading the story a bit more hard-going, and therefore detracts from my enjoyment of the experience.

Lack of speech marks certainly doesn’t help.
