I was on a bike trip through the alps and had no alternative to get another book, so I finished reading this book. I had bought it because I loved the first book from Marlon Morgan (Mutant Message from Down Under), but this one seemed really boring to me, and so predictable. The first half of the book is the story of the twins, and how miserable their lives were. Afterwards, some insights into the life of the Aboriginals are given. It's good that the author fights for the rights of the Aboriginals, but there are definitively better books for that.

There are so many truths in the book it is more than a one time read. The spirituality and logic of the Aboriginal teachings are profound in their simplicity. It is a shame our past cultures could not learn from one another rather than destroying the Aboriginal and the Native American ways of life. Very soul searching and rewarding. Riveting story, perhaps a bit didactic in places, but I was ready for the lessons when they were delivered.

What a great book!
If you want to learn about an ancient view on life and the world we live in get this book. It has taught me a great appreciation for the aborigines, the real world around us and about the potential inside of every person.
If you like to learn new things and read stories about great adventures get this book.

I started out loving this book; I had read the first book and it was great, but I thought this one would be even better, because she is a really great storyteller. I found the story of the twins intriguing, heartbreaking touching. I was thrilled at the way the story wove between the two separated children. It was quite Dickensian, actually, with good peripheral characters and great descriptive paragraphs and interesting conversations. However, it suddenly changed simply to the girl twin, or rather, it was mostly her story, and though I learned a lot about the aborigine's oppression and want to know more in that vein, I was disappointed that the story became more and more didactic and mostly about the one character. In other words, the second part of the book didn't hold up like the first did. It was as if the author couldn't sustain a truly dramatic story of lost children. I wanted a juicier "tale," if you will.

I find this book to be prophetic, for it touches on much of the unnamed 'dis-ease'in our own culture, religions, and time in history. Don't know that I've ever read anything so compelling. Our estrangement from nature has caused its own illness, but we've not yet recognized that to be true. I find this book hopeful, and it's a point of no return, I trust, once it has been read. Integrating its' message personally and communally lies before me. I am a Sister of Mercy, so the poor portrayal of my own community hurts. I acknowledge the weakness and brokenness in me and in all of us, and would like to know from Marlo why she chose us to be the callous people we appeared to be in the book. It was difficult to read lots of it because of my love for my community, and at the same time, I am very aware it is time for humility among all of us as a people that we've not prior lived. The portrayal of Caucasian European influence was so painful yet not unknown. In our own becoming, ...
