It's a shame Bob isn't around anymore to write classic Aussie tales of characters you can't help but love... not Les Norton but still written in the same style readers of Bob have come to love!!!

Classic Bob as usual 👌👌

Full of incidental 90's classics - from the songs on the radio to the cameos, this Barrett beauty will have you laughing and wincing at the corny lines. A great easy read.

A 90's classic

For a Bob Barrett book, it is fairly sedate , a really interesting story, but sedate...... I loved every minute of it because sedate or not, it's one of Bob's books and Bob always wrote a bloody good book.
As far as authors go, I reckon Robert G Barrett is the grouse.
And as far as narrators go, I always enjoy listening to Dino Marnika. I reckon he nails the characters really well.

Another great read.

Couldn’t get into the story but persisted and was rewarded with a shit ending. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣 Compared to his other books this has to be my least favourite.

The story had a great beginning and a great idea but it was spoiled by very cliche characters and unrealistic plot.
The characters are very cliche, and I wasn’t sure whether it was Kath and Kym or the castle, either weigh it back to originality. It just didn’t make sense, the drama was false, there would be no way in the US and SA members would terminate to Australian kids on a foreign sure just because of one search on the Internet. And the US Marines or whatever they were completely cliche and laughable. Otherwise it was a really good idea and had a really good plot regarding Nicola Tesla, but it was destroyed and really hard to listen to because of the way that the characters interacted. I don’t like saying this sort of stuff because it was a good idea but I just think the plot and have a whole stack of development, it sounded like it was written by someone that smokes a lot of dope up in Northern New South Wales with all sorts of conspiracy theories going through their heads.
