Book Reviews of Walkabout
Book Review: A Study in Beauty and Brutality
Summary: 5 Stars
I am working with a Grade Nine learning disabled class that seems compelled by the poetic language and fast pace of Walkabout. This book is a great exploration of poetic language conventions as well as character motivation and ethical issues that touch us all. The bush boy's role in the white children's lives, juxtaposed against Mary's role in his fate, is deeply moving. Walkabout made me want to learn more about the author, to trace his other works, and Australia, to track the children's journey, but so far I have had little luck on either path. And so my own walkabout continues.
