Reviews

Girt is an entertaining read, but heavy (sometimes even heavyhanded) in its humour and light on facts. It gives a great general overview of the early years of Australian history but gives more of a sense of character than a sense of history.

It's a fun book (although some of the humour can be a little on the nose), so if you're looking for an historical book with an easy to read core, this definitely fits the bill. If you actually want to learn something concrete, not so much.

It's more about the vibe of the thing...
