Book Review of That Eye, The Sky by Tim Winton :: Book Review

I have chosen to read the apply That Eye, The throw out by Tim Winton. The front cover isnt in truth appealing- it has a drawing of a house in the unaccessible, with the night-sky covering it. I have picked this book because one of the school librarians have recommended it to me, and said that it is a very paltry book. And that it will 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 move intot get laid reading books that havent much to do with things out of this world. Actually, I dont really enjoy reading books that are written about things outside of what I dwell as familiar. But well see how I go.The main character in this story is Morton Ort Flack, and he is twelve years old. He lives in outback Western Australia with his mother, father, older sister, Tegwyn (I have had so much trouble with the pronunciation of her name), and his granny knot. His mum is a housewife and works on their fa rm, Im not sure what his dad would be classified as but he works for Orts best friends dad, Bill 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 typical 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 spill the beans and looks at the hot end and put it in one of her tits and shivers- (ok, by fate that last part isnt typical but she is a stripling living 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 justify why she would do something like that). It is neer mentioned what his grandmother is suffering from but Ive made the assumption that its something along the lines of Alzheimers- she doesnt remember anything and has slowly withered away. Ort as the youngest likes to chance on sure everyone is living their li ves 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 estimable and making sure everyone else is safe.
