The Rip: From the award-winning author of Wimmera | Mark Brandi

so-so

Certainly not as good as Wimmera. Basically a story about two homeless kids with a bit of a mystery. I didn‘t really enjoy it and did the skip reading thing towards the end. @MrsMalaprop #ozfiction

A raw and honest insight into the life of an addict existing on the fringe of the community. Such compelling reading and the voice of the narrator was so clear and strong, it was like being inside her head. But the ending..... so many unanswered questions.

I read this in a few short sittings. It had the same evocative writing as Wimerra but I enjoyed this story much more. #ozfiction #therip #markbrandi

CarolynM I was in two minds about Wimmera. I found it really frustrating, but I think it was because the outcome of the story was so much what was likely to have happened in reality. I wanted better justice! I've got a copy of this one, but I'm putting it off😬 (edited) 5y

TheRegular_coffeeandbooks I felt the same with Wimmera @CarolynM I enjoyed the writing but it felt too far away from fiction. I read it on the back of too many heavy books with children in horrible circumstances so I may have been a bit biased. I definitely enjoyed The Rip more there was still a sinister undercurrent but I didn‘t feel frustrated at the end. (edited) 5y

I can not recommend this taut, devastating, entirely gripping book enough.

Dani is a teenager living on the streets with her friend Anton and he dog Sunny. They meet up with Steve an old acquaintance of Anton‘s and life gets a whole lot worse for them. What will an addict do for their next hit? What will one friend do for another?

THIS is how to write! No need to explain everything, you can be explicit without being didactic.

#BookMail Pt11 This one is a signed large paperback edition of the new book by the author of Wimmera. Set in the city this time, it‘s about a homeless young woman living on the streets & trying to stay safe but the drugs win every time. But Anton looks after her, until Steve appeared & offered his flat to crash in.But there‘s a smell coming from Steve‘s bedroom, and a lock on the door.And he‘s a bit intense. What would you put up with for safety?

KarenUK Love that cover 💕 6y
