Book Rating

This was an AMAZING audiobook!!!! Multiple fantastic narrators! It had me walking from my car into my building with my phone pressed to my ear!!

The synopsis sounds so juvenile, and the story itself and writing definitely began with a borderline "absurd" feel. However, the author constructed the book in a way that made me unable to stop listening to the story unfold. The book is told in first person and alternates viewpoints in each chapter. There are several plot twists that keep the reader's attention. The main character is a psychopath that the reader semi-likes due to the fact that she continuously tries to justify her actions throughout the novel.

Provides a great depth of research on the current educational system in Australia (1 more)

Acknowledges the validity of a plethora of religious traditions rather than just the prominent Christianity

Is in a sense repetitive and dry through its explanations of the nations educational and religious landscapes (0 more)

Deepening understanding can never hurt

Overall, I found this book to be insightful not only in relation to the nations current educational situation but also in the way that we, as a society, tend to treat religion. I believe that this is a book that is better read a chapter or two at a time rather than in one sitting due to the depth of research contained within its pages.
