The True Story Of Spit Macphee

I thought the novel was very captivative and hard to put down. I enjoyed it and i would have to say it is probably one of my favourite books. At the end of every chapter it would leave you on the edge and eager to read some more and of course you would because once you start you can't stop. I advise you that if you haven't read this novel (or even if you have)to write down some points as you go along just so you can remember what happend in the last chapter as the book can leave you abit confused and out in the open because every chapter is so jam-packed with surprises that you never would have guessed what's around the corner. So read it!! By Nick

The True Story of Spit MacPhee

This book was a good story about the life of Australians in the 1930's. I liked this book because it reminded me of my trip around Australia and having to live off canned corn beef and hard white bread. Overall i found this book hard to put down in the good parts and i read the book three times to get the whole story.By me.
