  The Girl Who Played with Fire

  19/03/2011

  This novel is yet another example of a novel that does not live up to the hype. It is totally misnamed and therefore the reader is mislead. 'Men Who Hate Women' is more accurate. If you want to read a poorly written story about incest, abuse, and the seedy side of life then this book is for you. It is a here today and forgotten tomorrow kind of novel.

  In and Out of Step

  19/03/2011

  There is much to recommend in this novel. Knight has written a significant story that realistically captures the late 1980s and issues that were hot topics then and still hot topics now. I shared some great discussions with friends after we read this novel. I felt strongly about the characters and saw them as real people. I connected fully with the central character's feelings of being overwhelmed and out of her depth in the workplace when confronted by serious issues. I wish I could say I had been as strong as Cassie became. I laughed, and yes, I cried as I shared the life explored in the story. Also loved the way dance was integral to the story. This is the sort of story that Aussie moviemakers should make!
