Book Review of That Eye, The Sky by Tim Winton :: Book Review
I prevail chosen to read the book That Eye, The Sky by Tim Winton. The front cover isnt very appealing- it has a picture of a house in the come onback, with the night-sky covering it. I have picked this book because unrivalled of the school librarians have recommended it to me, and said that it is a very moving book. And that it forget expand my vocabulary. The blurb suggests that That Eye, The Sky has little bit to do with the supernatural, which Im a bit wary of. I dont enjoy breeding books that havent ofttimes to do with things out of this world. Actually, I dont really enjoy reading books that are written about things outside of what I know as familiar. But well see how I go.The main character in this account is Morton Ort Flack, and he is twelve years old. He lives in outback western sandwich Australia with his mother, father, older sister, Tegwyn (I have had so much trouble with the pronunciation of her discern), and his grandma. His mum is a housewife and works on thei r farm, Im not real what his dad would be classified as that he works for Orts best friends dad, carte Cherry, who he is obliged to run personal errands for. Ort looks up very much to his father, and his parents are very much in love. His sister is a emblematic sixteen-year-old. She constantly fights with her parents, rebels against everything and practises self-mutilation- Real careful she takes the smoke out of her mouth and looks at the hot end and put it in one of her tits and shivers- (ok, maybe that finish part isnt typical still she is a teenager aliveness in the bush with nowhere to go and no chance to have friends or get out of the bush so I, as a teenager, can only whenify why she would do something like that). It is never mentioned what his nan is suffering from but Ive made the assumption that its something on the lines of Alzheimers- she doesnt remember anything and has slowly withered away. Ort as the youngest likes to make sure everyone is living their lives alright so he spies on his sister, grandma and parents just to see what they do when they dont know anybodys watching. I thought this part was a bit perverted at first, but it can be translated as his way of feeling safe and making sure everyone else is safe.
