Cul de Sac - Mickael Kennedy

Recently I read this book from Douglas Kennedy.
Frankly I bought it because it was in the top seller list. This is my usual way now to select book.

When I started to read I was a little disturbed by the writing style which is intentionally ( I guess) a kind of slang or "low level" language.

But very quickly I was brought inside the story which is really not usual and with several un-expected happenings.

Actually the story starts  with a light atmosphere of a guy who wants to travel in Australia for fun.
The reasons he is doing such trip are not really easy to believe, but that is just details.

Then at beginning of the book, i thought that this story will be a kind of  tourist road movie in the Australian bush.
But quickly, story went in a very original and dramatic situation for the main character.

In any case, I will not tell the story here but i recommand very much this book.
The originality of the story with the Australian atmosphere are giving a mix which makes this book very interesting to read.



In a first approach this this story seems un-believable...... but if you think a little more, and especially to some secte or community in USA (like some mormons or amish community), you will realize that this book's story is not so far from reality.
