Reviews

[Nina · Rating 1 out of 5]

So-so novel about Australian aborigines persecuted by whites. The first couple chapters were pretty good but it went downhill after that and ended in a colossal yawn. Gross exaggeration of white cruelty and equally gross exaggeration of the mystical abilities of aborigines.
