Story4.5 out of 5 stars 21
Birdy thought she would have to wait until she was free again to see Rose, but now Rose has been convicted of a shocking crime and she and Birdy will be together. Birdy has been saving all her anger for Rose. It is Rose who should have protected her and kept her safe. Birdy was little but Rose was big, and she knows Rose could have saved her. This is a story about monsters who hide in plain sight and about the secrets we keep from ourselves. It is about children who are betrayed and adults who fail them.

Story5 out of 5 stars 90
Ned West dreams of sailing across the river on a boat of his very own. To Ned, a boat means freedom–the fresh open water, squid-rich reefs, fires on private beaches–a far cry from life on Limberlost, the family farm, where his father worries and grieves for Ned's older brothers. They're away fighting in a ruthless and distant war, becoming men on the battlefield, while Ned–too young to enlist–roams the land in search of rabbits to shoot, selling their pelts to fund his secret boat ambitions. But as the seasons pass and Ned grows up, real life gets in the way.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 37
It’s 2006, and terror scaremongering in the media has rattled the residents of sleepy, suburban Dunlop Crescent. When a Maori family moves into number 14, the local cranks assume they are Middle Eastern terrorists hell-bent on destroying the Australian way of life. Rumour has it that they plan to turn their house to face Mecca. This sets off an extraordinary chain of events that embroils the entire neighbourhood as well as cynical media figures, bumbling antiterrorist police and a gang of white supremacists with a radical plan to wake up the country and ‘preserve Australian values’.

Publisher's Summary
'Nobody was ever thinking about me. Now that I'm dead, I dwell on this kind of thing a lot.'
Angus Mooney is in a dark place: the afterlife. His days are spent in aching embarrassment; god, religion, the supernatural—he was wrong about everything. Now, obsessing about the wife he left behind, Gracie, he watches from the other side as she is seduced by his killer, who has stepped seamlessly into Mooney's life.
Meanwhile, life after death isn't all it's cracked up to be. Another pandemic is sweeping the globe; Mooney's new home is filling up fast, resources are scarce, infrastructure is crumbling and he has to share an increasingly cramped existence with a group of people still traumatised by their own deaths. And although he should know better, he remains in the grip of the same fear as when he was alive: the opinions of others.
Narrated with the ironic hindsight afforded by life beyond the mortal plane, Here Goes Nothing is a razor-sharp, hilariously entertaining, insightful and moving meditation on our 21st-century world, and the intricate relationship between love and death.

Great listen, good writing
This was such an unusual story and so well read. I loved the dystopian world and the shuddering parallels to today...and the disappointing afterlife is something to consider.... The prose was a bit much at times but there were certainly some veritable gems that struck me as beautiful and poetic.

Clever, fun, and well read
Really enjoyable story with a great performance. I love Steve Toltz’s clever writing and musings on our society. This dystopian alternate take on life and death was really entertaining.

Disappointing
Whilst I listened through to the end I was disappointed with this book - I found it annoying in its laddishness and whilst I appreciated the exploration of life after death, I found it contrived and meandering.

Not great
I tried to stick with it, but couldn’t get through this book. I didn’t like the writing style or the characters, and found the storyline depressing.

Post modern English lit dribble.
This was a difficult book to suffer through. The choice of text, prose and absolute cacophony of multisylabilic words used to portray no story at all was very trying. Obviously a well read person, and knows a lot about literature, but a storyteller, he is not.
