4.0 out of 5 stars Romantic Comedy November 6, 2012

By Rhonda Valverde

Format:Paperback

Dudes Down Under is about a getaway for the rich and famous in Australia. They are given a chance to be themselves away from paparazzi and rabid fans. We get to watch drama unfold and romance blossom "down under".

There were a lot of interesting characters of varying personalities in this book, but I wished for more background on them. I feel if I had more of that I would have felt more connected to the characters. My favorite parts of the book involved the character Cyril, the resort's resident crocodile. I really liked how the author gives insight to his thoughts. This pampered crocodile was pretty humorous.

I also wish the story was conveyed with a little more order. The characters interact and their lives intersect but at times the writing seemed a little chaotic. I also wish that the romances between the characters were more developed, I would have been happier with fewer characters with more story substance. The setting for me was a big positive; the story takes place is an island off the mainland of Australia and Burke described it beautifully. The drama of the storm had me on the edge of my seat.

Issues aside, I really liked the whole concept of the book. I am a huge fan of humor and romance. I would give Burke's future books a try.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic - there better be sequel! October 27, 2012

By preciousoil

Format:Kindle Edition

I don't know quite what I expected from this book, but the cast of characters and the setting had me intrigued. Let me just say it surpassed my expectations - fantastic!

Take a girl with the vision to create an exclusive millionaire, A-list resort on the Great Barrier Reef, a bunch of American celebs, with all the usual hang-ups, laid-back Aussie staff, some exes tagging along 'for the hell of it' - oh yeah, and Cyril, an adolescent crocodile who thinks like a human, (though he still goes to bed with his Pooh Bear) - and you've got a recipe for something very unusual.

Add in some freak weather and anything can happen - and it does! What surprised me about this book was how realistic it all seemed. Also, the changes in character when people never out of the limelight were suddenly free to be themselves, for once, added an unexpected moral element.

This would make a great movie. Highly recommended. All I can add is, there'd better be a sequel!

5.0 out of 5 stars The crocodiles alone are worth five stars July 1, 2012

By Suze

Format:Kindle Edition

This book is both hilarious and entertaining. A crazy cast of celebrities, down to earth aussies, a bit of bad weather and a good romance, what's not to love! All that was missing was the vegemite. Get yourself down under :)
