Not to mention Chloe Hooper’s The tall man. Also an outstanding book.

OH, yes, I was in a rush and forgot to add it to the post! I thought that was a *brilliant* book – wise and courageous. Lisa

I’ve got to read The Tall Man at some point… waiting for paperback release.
I read Wanting and was disappointed by it: didn’t think it as good as his other books.

I think that The Tall Man is a *must read*… I’d like to see it on the Year 12 reading list. Lisa
