Yvonne Lin yvonnelin19b3c — 'Wyatt took the stairs. The lift was available, but lifts were a trap. He went straight to the first-floor apartment’s concealed safe and removed the contents: spare cash, two sets of false ID and the deeds to both properties. Finally he grabbed the dark suit hanging in his wardrobe. There was nothing else that he wanted to take with him when he left the place forever, no photos, diaries, letters or other keepsakes, for the simple reason that he had no past that he wanted to think about.' Enigmatic and elusive, Wyatt is an old-fashioned robber and heist man with no room in his life for friends, relationships or sentimentality. He makes for great reading, although we know almost nothing about him. A few chapters into this novel I realised Wyatt had done nothing more than attempt a snatch and grab and buy a stolen handgun, and yet I was riveted. I found myself turning the pages compulsively to find out what this anti-hero would do next, and how. Soon a seemingly simple jewel heist falls in his lap. What could go wrong? Naturally, everything. The flaw in this otherwise excellent crime novel is the weak and unconvincing women. Wyatt’s world is peopled by strippers, vacuous shop assistants, double-crossed ladies in need of saving, an overmatched female cop with an ill-fitting bra, and women ‘teetering on high heels and inexperience’. They range from unfortunate to downright dumb, and far too many end up naked and vulnerable to an unsympathetic man at some point in the story. The focus on the female form - without substance – seemed at times to border on the pathological. Good noir need not be so relentlessly old-school macho. Wyatt suffers for it. Garry Disher is one of our most accomplished authors, having published over 40 novels across genres and age groups. Read his Ned Kelly award-winning Wyatt for the expertly written prose, tight plotting and convincing Melbourne atmosphere.

Yao Lu fuzzysmelo6752 — Really creative novel, but it took me FOREVER to get through. I think I just don't have the imagination to just "go with it" and I had to keep rereading things because I thought I missed something. Definitely not the type of novel I normally read, but I think that was a good thing - stretched my imagination a bit.

Kester Rey _ester_ey — Is it possible to have a stroke or an aneurism from laughing too hard? There were parts of this road trip memoir that I couldn't get through without putting the book down, wiping my makeup clean and starting again. Bryson takes a long road trip to remember all the places he went with his family as a child. Excellent descriptions of geographical cliches all across the United States. He has super funny ways of describing people and conversations and adds just the right touch of sentimentality.
