Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Secret River (Kindle Edition)

The Secret River is the story starting with a boy, then the man who is less than some but better than most,and his family making it from terrible times in London to success in Australia. The book is very well written, makes it pretty clear what Australian life was like during the time of early colonization by transported prisoners, and also has some beautiful descriptions of the land. HOWEVER, the progression of the story is so predictable, rags to riches, and even a bit plodding, that I give it merely 3 stars.
