A review by mischief_in_the_library
Talk Under Water by Kathryn Lomer

2.0

I really wanted to like this! And I persevered somewhat (not very much though) because it's Australian, and it's nice to see deafness in literature. Only...nothing was happening, and I gather from other reviewers that nothing was GOING to happen. This would have been better as a middle grade book - the characters spoke more like 12-year-olds than the 16 they were supposed to be. And, maybe a bit nit-picky, but I did AUSLAN for a whole semester and didn't know nearly as much as Will conveniently did after one hour of lesson.

Anyway. Cool idea. Could be done better.
