The Rain Never Came by Lachlan Walter
4.0
The Rain Never Came is a debut novel. A great dystopian read, set in the dry and drought stricken outback. I really enjoyed the realness of this book, even though it's set in a country that I've never visited before. I've always had a joy in reading a book written by an Aussie - and this one didn't disappoint.
'The Rain Never Came' has a writing style that is so refined, it was so easy to read, very fast paced, and super interesting. It's the tale of two Australian friends battling the authority figures of their time, and can't manage to get their lives together. Their stories very real, and very flawed. It definitely wasn't short on well developed characters, or crazy plot devices that kept me on my toes. I don't always understand Aussie humor, but for some reason I don't care! I just enjoyed this book for exactly what it was, an entertaining read.
