It's very difficult to describe Tony Slater's books and I'm very glad I don't have to pick a category for them. Travelling happens in his books but they're certainly not a typical travelogue. There's humor, lots of humor but it's more than that too. Tony is a master storyteller and he draws you in, taking you on a grand sweeping adventure. I've loved all his books but this one is his best.He lives the life that some of us perhaps wished we'd lived (or at least a little bit). I felt as though I was the fourth member of the travelling party as they journeyed around Australia. As always he does a masterful job of describing the situations but he does an even better job of introducing us to his other travelling companions.In this book we're allowed to spend time with Gill and Roo and we experience the situations from their perspectives too. It's funny and touching and a great trip. I was very disappointed when I reached the end. More please author!
