註釋#HighlyIntelligent#Independent #Brilliant #Compelling #BeautifullyWritten #Daring #Brave #Original #Innovative "Easily the finest Australian Writer around! And one of the very few authors whom it could be said were truly influential, even copied much. Sadly such fine appreciation by all of his writerly peers has not transferred over into book sales!" "An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir concerning regional history, a single mom, and raising her young children in a rural atmosphere. That is a book about the average people being average, even dysfunctional in inclination. This is not a memoir about big important statesmen, sporting hero's or even celebrities." -gracie anderson'An inspirational memoir about becoming educated.""A memoir that resonates with profound truths" -Daily Telegraph"The old out-back goldtown of Kalgoorlie has never before been so richly-strangely transcribed by way of prose as it has indeed been done in this wonderful memoir of a child's awakening and song of Achilles!" -Terry Conway 5starsFrom the author; ...This is a somewhat tragi/comical memoir a book of Becoming educated into teenage hood. Though for all of that it has no agenda like so many who use their own personal accounts to implore their readership into some kind of political activist mentality usually related to some minorities entitlements or rights. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE BOOKS!! It is meant to be read purely from a literary perspective none other."Bloody Brilliant read! A coming of age story, forgiveness. Thoroughly recommended not unlike song of Achilles." -5star review since deleted. "Do not under any circumstances read such a book if you happen to be a born and bred pretentious snob. Go read somebody else's book, maybe a book on knitting or gardening or other gentile stuff, even a Barbara Cartland epic!" -Ty Cobb. 'Bravo monsieur Hoey, votre livre est éveillé plus superlative et le plus bel exemple de la littérature moderne. Je suis désolé que vous n'êtes pas un Français, car alors je serais facilement rccommend ce livre pour un prix littéraires français de paris. vraiment grand. Encore bravo!' - Thomas Hilloc."An interesting if not provocative little read about a working class boy and a family of born survivors"-Gunter "Bloody Brilliant read! Thoroughly recommended""Being an Englishman with a distinct lack of taste for the general stereotype of your typical sports-loving boorish Australian, I must say I undertook the reading of this book with a certain amount of trepidation. To my surprise it surpasses anything by any other writer I have read so far [at least within the last five or so years]. And written by an 'aussie'. It is a fine thing then to find out that this nation of the sports obsessed buffoon actually has at its core a much richer life behind the ugly stereotype. Your book reveals these hidden depths of a nation far too well known for its sporting achievements at the expense of other more nuanced options. Beautiful." - Owen Etheridge.
