I was really psyched to read The Dressmaker but found it flat and disappointing. How the author managed to make the Titanic disaster boring, I'll never understand! And I also found Flatscreen to be a letdown. What do you guys think? I'm posting reviews of both books on my blog.
I'm sad to hear The Dressmaker was disappointing. It sounded like a cool concept. Maybe I'll try it anyways. Les Jen(n)s, un libre.
