Summary: Pobby and Dingan
Comment: A wonderful book! Although character descriptions lack depth and are left to the reader's imagination, this is *exactly* what the book is about......imaginary friends! I enjoyed the author's direct style, and had my curiosity peaked trying to discern the meaning of Australian terms by applied use. A book for everyone, including children.
Rating: 5
Summary: EXCELLENT!
Comment: This book is EXCELLENT! It's rare that you come across a truely enjoyable read from cover to cover. Even though the book is short, it is a very satisfying read. It's well written. It flows naturally from beginning to end. The story is sweet and original. I highly recommend it.
If you are thinking about getting it, and you must be, since you're reading this review. GET IT!

Summary: A short story at best
Comment: I enjoy author's first novels because, when they're good, it makes you feel like you're part of the great discovery from the start. I had heard good things about this book so I was hopeful that might be the case with Ben Rice. Unfortunately, it didn't happen. At 93 pages, it's really more of a short story than a novel and I think it's overpriced with a retail price of [price]. But more than that, the story itself left much to be desired. I like authors that are willing to take chances and try different things but obviously it all comes down to execution. There were a lot of quirky characters - both real and imagined - but no real character exploration. Events happen but you aren't given any real insight as to why the characters behave the way they do. Motivations and explanations are completely left out. It may have been more enjoyable if it had been fleshed out more instead of forcing the reader to accept everything on its face. In all, there isn't much substance and the story is unsatisfying and rather weird.
