I wasn't upon starting this novel whether I would bother to continue. I felt bored and disconnected from the premise of the novel-conversations seemed unrealistic for the times and culture. I put this in the basket of it being Virginia's first novel.
I persevered and was glad I did. It developed into an absorbing read and is told from different character's point of view. I also felt it was an insight into the life and times of rural residents in 1930's mid west USA.I wasn't upon starting this novel whether I would bother to continue.

An interesting story line that puts Gallipoi, Ned Kelly, australian soldiers and several generations in Australia and Turkey and the connections between them. Almost seemed implausible when I started and though it went a little flat at times, that hopefully will not be present in Jenny's subsequent novels, but stil la rather intriguing read.An interesting story line that puts Gallipoi, Ned Kelly, australian soldiers and several generations in Australia and Turkey and the connections between them.

A great read that pulls together Jane's articles on the earthquake and after effects on the residents of Christchurch. Having them all in one book gives a in-depth time line of scattered memories of that time that seem, some days, to be another lifetime away.A great read that pulls together Jane's articles on the earthquake and after effects on the residents of Christchurch.

I have read a few printings of Howl since I first was introduced to it in the 70's but this is the first time I've encountered it in a graphic novel form and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. The artistry captures the essence of the poem beautifully. I may even go buy it just to keep it handy to dip into from time to time.I have read a few printings of Howl since I first was introduced to it in the 70's but this is the first time I've encountered it in a graphic novel form and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it.

An excellent cd from their earlier years. It's got great rhythm and a driving force behind it to make you want to play it loud-in fact it begs for the volume to be wound right up.
