I'm a little over half way through this book now and having made comment earlier I feel I should continue. I said earlier I was surprised by this book then shocked but it crashes from one shock to the next with an intent seemingly to repulse the reader. It is explicit and R rated in my view. I find I don't look forward to reading it like I do other books and it's lost much of its humour.
I will finish it. I have to attempt to understand what the author is trying to achieve. I do know this though. On my walk this morning: the lime green new leaves on the oak trees, the kookaburras (beaks pointing up, vibrating bodies and shimmying tails) staking territory with their duet call, the sharp smell of the onion weed in flower and the scent of flowering sweet pittosporums seemed all the more pleasing to my senses.
Anyone who has read 'Running With Scissors' will know what I mean. Anyone who hasn't but intends to, be warned. I don't recommend it at this point.
Ps. As I walked past Leo's house this morning I noticed on his LeoArt sign the web address- www.learntodraw.com.au
