5.0 out of 5 stars Best novel of all time, May 17, 2008
This review is from: The Potato Factory (Paperback)
I was in Australia visiting friends when I heard about this novel. I bought it to read on the plane back to America. Usually if I read for pleasure it takes me a week or more to get through it just bits at a time. I could not put this book down to sleep or eat until I had read every single page. Mr. Courtenay has a way of putting you right in the middle of the story with so many colourful characters that will live on in your heart until you pass. If you love history, if you love seeing the little person struggle to come out on top to only be kicked down and struggle back up again then you'll love this book and the two others that follow.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love Bryce's books - and this is his BEST, April 30, 2009
This review is from: The Potato Factory (Paperback)
I do NOT understand why Bryce Courtenay is still so unknown in the U.S., as he is a genius! This story is typical Courtenay - struggles after struggles with the most richly developed characters, and a feeling at the end that there is goodness in the world.

Potato Factory has a wonderful main character whom you love to hate. The plot has twists and turns, the characters are multi-dimensional, and you won't want to turn the last page (but, alas! there is a sequel). I'd highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE POTATO FACTORY, December 8, 2007
This review is from: The Potato Factory (Paperback)
PURE BRYCE COURTENAY. ANOTHER EPIC ABOUT THE STRUGGLES OF LIFE AND THE WILL TO PERSEVERE AND NEVER GIVE UP. IF YOU'VE READ THE POWER OF ONE, YOU'LL LOVE THIS BOOK. COURTENAY SHOULD BE BETTER KNOWN IN THE GOOD OLD USA
