5.0 out of 5 stars Final book, February 4, 2009

This review is from: Solomon's Song (Mass Market Paperback)

The only problem with this book is it ends. I have enormously enjoyed the trilogy and I put off buying this last installment because the reviews seemed slightly negative and I couldn't find a copy at a reasonable price. I love it. Great characterization, fantastic plot--it's better than being at the movies. The fact that it has to end is a true bummer. Now I have to rent the movie Gallipoli to watch it again with the insight I've gained from reading this book.

Bryce Courtenay is a solid writer. Starting with the Potato Factory, through Tommo & Hawk, and concluding with this book, he weaves a tale of four generations. As with all the books, this has highs and lows. I read it with my wife and she laughed and cried loudly at different parts. My only commens really relates to plot -- I wish that Bryce would have written the last paragraph differently. Saying anymore would spoil the plot.
