review 1: Koch's style definitely had its moments. He is meticulous in his character descriptions. Early on he creates people who feel whole but remain mysterious. Secrecy as a theme is intriguing to an extent but when most characters feel distanced from the reader it is difficult to care what happens to them. The book starts strong but ultimately fails to deliver. The ending feels a little too clichéd and without any catharsis.
review 2: Well written Australia novel about ASIO in the late 70's. Book begins in Hobart, goes to China and comes back to Australia in Canberra. This is the first book I have read by Koch, and it defintely had an Australian style to it. I began to think there was not enough focus on one of the characters, however this changed shortly after I ha... mored this thought. Protaginists view is perfect for the story, although does not appear so initially. less
