"Bryce Courtenay's epic finale to his 'Australian Trilogy' series is truly a masterpiece of literature! It was powerfully gripping and consistently fascinating. I'm glad that I chose to experience this series in audiobook format as the narrator of all 3 novels does a masterful job of bringing the multitude of characters to life right before your eyes (or ears as it were). That was the real icing on the cake for me." — Tim S. (5 out of 5 stars)

" bryce courtenay is the best! love his books. "
" Good, but the weakest of the trilogy. "
" Good book but would have liked to have read more about the Solomon family and less about ANZAC and WW1. "
" Het derde boek van de trilogie van de Solomon familie gaat over de achterkleinkindern van de hoofdpersonen uit het eerste boek. Het speelt in de 20e eeuw en het grootste deel gaat over de deelname van de Anzacs in de eerste wereldoorlog. Je wordt er nogmaals op gewezen wat een zinloze oorlog dit was. Gallipoli is prachtig beschreven (als je een oorlog prachtig kunt noemen!) "
" This was fantastic as well, the whole trilogy was great. from memory it was a bit sad towards the end but loved it all the same "
" Fascinating read, the only critique is that I felt that the story with Victoria wasn't properly wrapped up by the end. "
" The last of the Potato Factory trilogy it sort of seemed as if Courtenay was running out of steam, especially towards the end of the book. Humphrey Bower performed his magic once again in the audible version. "
" Another excellent book. I can't get enough of Bryce Courtenay. "
" A disappointing third book in the series "
" This was my least favorite of the three books. The story line was okay, I didn't know a lot about the war things (not a history fan) so some of that was lost on me. Did NOT like the ending. "
" While the Gallipoli information is, I assume, very accurate, this book seems to lack the heart of previous books such as Four Fires or The Potato Factory. "
" I loved the this whole series and would highly recommend them to anyone who enjoys Historical Fiction "
" Disappointing end to a good trilogy. "
" Boy this series really ran out of steam in the home stretch! This book really had the potential to end the series with a bang and instead it went out with a whimper. Warning: some of the war scenes are very graphic and disturbing. "
" This has been such an incredible series of books. I was dreading the end of the Solomon's Song because I've enjoyed the journey so much. It's really that good. "
" Gripping. I could hardly put this down. I am becoming a fan of Bryce Courtenay--he is great story teller. Plus he is a historian and his stories are as historically accurate as possible. This story is about a promient Aus families history and Aus involvement in WWI. "
" This was mediocre at best. I suffered through the first two and this one was sadly no better. All three novels should have been heavily edited and consolidated into a single book. "
" The first 2 books of the trilogy were so good but this one was a bit of a letdown. This one just wasn't nearly as interesting for reasons I cannot exactly explain. It just didn't grab me the way the others did. "
" Easily the best book in the trilogy. Bryce Courtenay is such a talented writer! "
" As always Bryce keeps your attention all the way. "
" Just started the third book of The Potato Factory trilogy -- wonderful, wonderful!! "
" I probably shouldn't even have started this but it was the final book of a trilogy and I sort of wanted to see what happened. "
" Did not like the ending, but the book and the trilogy were well past my expectations. It was about Australia, how good could it really be? Some of my favorite characters of all my reading are in this trilogy. "
" Quintessentially Australian. Very good yarn. "
" I love this 3 part series of the history of Australia, but I think this 3rd book was my favorite. It takes place during the beginning of the 2oth century and spends a lot of time at the battle of Gallipoli. "
" I thought this was a good book "
" Great book as is everything by Bryce Courtenay. "
" There were parts of this book that felt a bit rushed and contrived, but overall it was a touching and beautifully written final book to the trilogy. "
