Winter Book Review: Jasper Jones



Still on the topic of finishing things. In celebration of the end of reports I read Jasper Jones. It's a good read that sucks you in from the word go. I couldn't put it down. So much so that I read most of it in one sitting. I'm in the process of re-reading because I think I read it a little too fast the first time!

It's been dubbed the Australian To Kill a Mockingbird and there are definitely strong resemblances in some of the characters and themes. I'm undecided yet as to if there is too much in common between the two. Would like to hear your opinion if you've read both!

The Verdict - Read it! At least once!
