And as for a book by Peter Carey, I think I'll do better to read one of his that's more on the mark, as what's not great about this book is made much better by such a nice narration. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/96888?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
