A Fun Ride June 28, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
A fun little read, this one follows the trials of a guy my age, living in my city, having much more crazy and interesting adventures than I do. Naturally, there was a lot there I could relate to (especially the "This is a Heavy Product" sticker mystery - on of my favourite quirks of Melbourne).
On the downside, I found the ending a little unsatisfying, and although there was some sense of closure, there were still plenty of questions unanswered towards the end. I don't know whether it really sets itself up for a part two, however it could make for a decent movie adaption one day.
All up, a humourous look at life in inner-city Melbourne, but I'm not sure how well it might work for those unfamiliar with the territory, as a lot of "Australian-centric" things can be.
