" Given that The Slap was...not enjoyable, but well-written with strong albeit unlikeable characters, I thought a horroresque book would work well with Tsiolkas' style of writing. But, no. Loathsome characters, homophobic and really? Nothing even happens. Or, at least, nothing had happened by the time I was halfway though the book and since I'm not planning on finishing I suppose I won't find out if anything ever does. "
