The first Peter Carey novel i have read and i really enjoyed it. He creates memorable, believable almost unforgettable characters with immense skill an so you end up forgiving him the over the top aspects as it all seems so believable. But at the end i did think, so what was the point in that and wasnt it a bit desperate in the use of sexual trauma for drama but he seemed to have a lot of fun writing it and i had a lot of fun reading it.

I love Peter Carey, but this book left me feeling utterly depressed. Very well written, but extremely uncomfortable.

Read this on the plane and couldn't put it down. Thanks to flight delays I finished it in one trip. Very intense.
