5.0 out of 5 stars My personal book of the year, 3 Nov 2002
This review is from: Angel Rock (Hardcover)
Darren Williams's "Angel Rock" is a book you won't forget. Written in a beautiful style,it tells a breathtaking story of the dark secrets hidden in the past of the town -and of the main characters. You'll meet Gibson, a police officer,who ,since his boyhood, has tried in vain to understand why his beloved sister killed herself, you'll meet Tom, who is also unable to remember - in his case the circumstances leading to the disappearance of his younger brother Flynn- and who in the person of Grace meets first love. All the characters in the book are beautifully and credibly drawn, the setting is wonderful and uncanny at the same time. To put it in a nutshell-it's a very satisfying read, a great story of suspense- it is my personal book of 2002.

4.0 out of 5 stars mysteries in the outback, 20 Jul 2002
By andrew (england, dreaming) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Angel Rock (Hardcover)
Angel Rock has been compared to Picnic at Hanging Rock which I think is a fair comparison. Picnic was a period piece set in turn of the century Australia depicting the events when three school girls disappear whilst climbing a mysterious rock during a valentines day picnic. In this book we're in 1969 in the town of Angel Rock though the rock itself only briefly through the narrative as a brooding backdrop. This time two boys disappear into the outback and only one returns with lost memories of what happened to his younger brother. Along with the search for the boy the book follows a second mystery as another girl from Angel Rock is found in Sydney having committed suicide. A Sydney detective follows her trail back to Angel Rock determined to find out why she killed herself and finds links with the missing boy mystery.
Along the way we sample lots of small town life with a collection of village eccentrics, ramshackle houses and awkward friendships between the teenage boys and girls. The characterisation is excellent throughout the book and the various mysteries hold your attention to the very end. The expanse and colour of the Australian outback is also conveyed excellently with its hidden gorges and wildlife.
I would definitely reccomend this book with its themes of growing up, dealing with the past and struggling with love. One word of caution for small dog lovers as there is one quite disturbing scene late on!
