[dark`secrets]

i havent read it though, but im planning to catch up my reading after the HSC with the bryce courtenay books e.g power of one and tandia.
i wouldnt mind adding jessica to my collection.

 

[astro]

Tandia was pretty good...i've only read the shortened version of the power of one

 

[Agnes2810]

is power of one the one about his some habvnig that blood disease? coz if it is ive read it

For some reason, I always lose interest about half way, and have to force myself to read the rest. This is what happened with this book. Possibly because the book is long, and I'm lazy.

is power of one the one about his some habvnig that blood disease? coz if it is ive read it

I think that is: April Fool's Day.

I really don't like it how Bryce Courtenay has to kill the protagonist in all his books!!!
Last week I was so pissed when a got up to page 899 of Tandia, & found out that he was going to die!!! I really thought they were going to make it, then come back & restore that house.

Jessica rocks 10/10

I haven't read the book yet!!!!!
But I read the last page so I know that she dies!!!!!

 

[lengstar]

why the hell did you do that?!!!

 

[rumour]

why the hell did you do that?!!!

Cause I wanted to see if she died at the end, like the protagonists in his others books.
But I always read the last page of a book that I'm reading just to see what happens at the end!!

I did that in Tandia also, cause I was half-way throught so I just flipped through & read some random pages, before reading from where I was up to again.

You're thinking of April Fool's Day, which is about his son Damien's struggle with AIDS. Only book of his I've read.

 

[Courtenay]

its Bryce CourtENAY!!!!

spelling peoples....i really do have a complex about it.

But he would have to be one of my favourite authors (not only because my name matches his surname)

First book i tried to read of his was the power of one, when i was about 12, but couldnt get into it so i read the young adults version, and then the proper one and have had no problems since with any of his books.

Jessica is definately good...very sad but woth the read.

And all the tommo and hawk ones...i like those

muahahhaa i tend to read half way then turn to the back and read what happens LOL

I actually live in Narrandera, the town where Jessica was set. However, sadly the novel is quite different from the truth and she actually did have quite a dramatic life. Regardless though, she was still a heroine and did it tough. It was way weird to watch the miniseries and hear them say, "we're just going into narrandera" when i do that all the time. Lol
