Query: Waste of Time-- Felt REALLY Cheated

I had hoped to learn about Ned Kelly and Australia in the 19th century. If that is your goal, this is probably not the book for you. Imagine a tale told in first person by someone with an age 12 maturity and practically no writing skills. That's what this book is: fragmented, immature commentary that is VERY hard to follow. For all art, there's the medium that conveys the message. Carey selected a medium that drowns the message. Image the book "Treasure Island" entirely written in unpunctuated pirate talk (Aye, me hardies!) with no relief of intelligent prose. That's this book. Would give this book a zero rating if it were a choice. The Booker Prize committee must have been drunk.
