Title: So boring! Tasteless novel written a few decades ago.
Review: This book is such a bore! I took the book on a 5-hour flight, looking forward to be entertained. I threw it in the trash on arrival, after painstakingly reading my way through it... since I had only one book! It has been written a few decades ago and it really shows. Most of the book is spent describing the nascent love between a submarine captain and a young Australian sassy airhead drunkard, through frivolous 2-cents dialogs they have in bars and parties. Half of the rest describes Australian social life. The other half recounts how the war happenned. No adventure, no action, no thrill, no discovery, no exploration, no mystery... Nothing... Certainly not the book I ll take on desert island or in an anti-atomic shelter!
