I am blown away by how great this book is.  It’s unputdownable.  I wish I didn’t have to work or sleep so I could finish it in one sitting.  Unfortunately at the moment all I am doing is working and sleeping.  No break even on Australia Day :-(

I LOVED this book.  Lawrence Hill’s book is called “someone knows my name” in Australia.  Absolutely fanstastic, couldn’t put it down.

It was quite interesting and special reading it around the time of Obama’s inauguration.

I can’t recommend it highly enough.

I got it for Christmas from my brother.  I’d asked him to give me a great novel to read…. he did exactly as I asked.  nice work Chas!
