it was ok
bookshelves: australia, contemporary, general-literary-fiction, everyone-likes-but-me

Well, it was a big disappointment for me. I am glad it was not my first book by the author because for sure it would be the last one. For the most part of the book NOTHING happens - the characters are just walking around, talking and making uninteresting observations. I couldn't even name Exiles a mystery, I have no idea what it is supposed to be.

It lacks EVERYTHING that determines a good suspense and exciting read for me: BORING, no dynamic, no unexpected twists, a dull portrait of small town relationships.
And please, what was THAT at the end?? REALLY?? Totally and utterly unbelievable.
I won't recommend this book.

I wouldn't have believed if someone had told me two weeks ago what a struggle this book would be! Normally I enjoyed her books :(

I am in the minority here, Nick, though I am really wondering what other readers liked in it (??) that remained for me totally hidden.


ConM Oh no!
