Wanting

Well written and interesting but so, so sad with no redeeming features. i really enjoyed the Narrow Road to the North where, underlying the horrors of the prisoner of war camp, there was a positive message about love but I did not find anything positive in Wanting and this has put me off reading more books by Flanagan

excellent book,still don't understand why the author used 2 separate stories very little related,personally I wished he had centred the entire text on the Tasmanian life and times around 1700-1800.Nevertheless he crafted his story very well and held the interest of the reader all the way.

This isn't the type of book I'd usually read, but I had to read it for one of my uni modules. It was actually really interesting, and Flanagan creates a flowing narrative that's easy to follow but also isn't dumbed down

I really enjoyed this book and it led me to look up many of the facts mentioned. I wifi be purchasing more of this author's work. Very informative and a truly stimulating read

all good
