What can I say? This wasn't a great book by any means, but I've read a lot worse. I loved the Australian setting and the general ideas about this post-apocalyptic world, but I really wish they'd been featured more in the story. Instead, there was a whole lot of the main character saying: "Why?" and the other characters saying: "We won't tell you, because we are mysterious and cryptic."

Like the main character, I found it continually frustrating that everyone else was so needlessly tight-lipped most of the time. It slowed the plot down to a crawl, and because ideas weren't elaborated on nearly as much as they should have been, I found many parts rather dull. It finally picked up towards the end, but the book ended just when it got interesting. Just like the main character, I too wanted to know 'why'!

I loved this book. Very entertaining and original. I am really looking forward to reading the next two in the series!
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is not fast paced but instead allows you to soak up the story and the world. There are many questions that the author is not quick to provide answers to, giving you plenty to ponder in between readings. I am now eagerly awaiting the second book "Skyall".
This narrative wonderfully creates a firmly realised post-apocolyptic world, elliptically drawing on Australian geography/politics for something different. Characters/situation/plot are interesting/satisfying. This first volume of the prospective trilogy is both complete in itself and great teaser for the next volume. A fine read.
The setting is quite compelling and does have an Australianness to it which is unmistakable. However Eaton's narrative fails to do the background justice.

After reading seven chapters I've given up on this book. It started strong and then meandered for much too long without anything significant happening. Browsing forward I see that the main character is about to get herself into trouble in chapter eight but it is too little too late. It's going back to the Library.
