5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, June 28, 1999

This review is from: Spinners (Hardcover)
I wasn't prepared to be won over by a book from down under, but Spinners is a complete delight from beginning to end. An unpredictable plot, enticing characters, well-wrought language, steady pace, and a satisfying finish all add up to a whopping good read. I hope this talented New Zealander, who has distinguished himself with notable stage and screen scripts, will turn his pen to prose soon again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kept me hooked from beginning to end (and beyond!), May 26, 1999
This review is from: Spinners (Hardcover)
What a joyride this book was! McCarten is brilliant at characterizations-I could easily "see" each and every person he introduced along the way. And the ending...left me wondering if the resolution was what I thought it was! Just wonderful...

4.0 out of 5 stars All In All, I Definitely Enjoyed It, October 19, 2003
By 
MaNDii (Long Island, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spinners: A Novel (Paperback)
First, let me say I am fourteen and had NO trouble reading and understanding this book. Okay, now, what made me get this book from the library was the cover. A nice bright green with a picture of a cow on the front. It stood out from all the other boring covered ones. From the cover alone you can tell this is going to be a good WITTY book. Witty is definitely the best word to describe it. I loved the plot: a 16 year old girl claims to see spacemen and claims to be having their baby. Theres some twists and turns, surprizes and things you can foretell, but one thing I must, not complain, but comment about, is the ending. I think the ending where everything comes into perspective was crammed into a certain amount of pages. Everything came together so quickly. It would have been better if everything had unravelled not slowly - but not as fast.

All in all this was a great book. A good way to spend a leisurely weekend. Definitely some good laughs and things to tell your friends about. x0x
