I loved The Slap (to many people to dislike) and this book provided a few detestable characters too. I didn't race through it though as I didn't enjoy the story - found it hard going at times. ( ) This is the first Tsiolkas book I have read. Agree with other reviewers this was an uncomfortable read. I felt the book jumped around unnecessarily and I felt that some of the scenes weren't necessary to the story. In saying that I felt once finishing the book I still had unanswered questions, these questions were what kept me reading to the end in the first place. This story is about soooo much. Coming of age, accepting defeat, standing out from the crowd, trying to figure out where you fit in the scheme of everything, and more. 14 year old Danny Kelly is special. He is like a fish in water, he swims like no other and he has a scholarship to an elite, private school in Melbourne. He has the 2000 Sydney Olympics in his sights and within his grasp, and the the unthinkable happens and he is a lost soul trying to understand and come to grips with what went wrong. Tsiolkas is at his best in the beautifully presented story. It will leave you with a lump in your throat. PriserPrestigefyllda urval
Den fjortonårige simmaren Daniel Kelly får ett idrottsstipendium till en exklusiv privatskola i Melbourne. En värld av möjligheter öppnas, men han möter också skoningslös konkurrens. Tack vare sin envishet, talang och killer instinct blir han respekterad av klasskamraterna. I sitt första stora mästerskap satsar han allt. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
