Love all his books. Great perspective on college debt, mass tort lawsuits, and the lie of some American dreams.

First one was good. 2nd one I barely finished. Plot didn't make sense and the order of events didn't seem logical. Too much teen angst in 2nd one.

Continuation a generation later so neat to see that- war has continued though- fast plot, some unexpected but pleasing twists- didn't end but left fun loose ends to be sort of picked up in the next book.

Wow. I love his writing- very poetic and poignant story. Hard to follow at first but you eventually settle into the rhythm. You have to remind yourself now and then that it takes place in Australia. Worth the time to read 500+ pages. Sad to say Goodbye to the Dunbar boys.

Had to push myself to finish the 3rd book and the 4th is long but satisfying ending. One and two were great fast reads.
