Great premise!

What did you like best about The Slap? What did you like least?

I downloaded this book because of the upcoming TV miniseries based on it. I loved the plot premise -- that an action, in a nanosecond, has the ability to shake things up in such a huge way. What I didn't like was the lengthy explorations into the lives of characters who had little or nothing to do with the actual plot. I mean, how much do you need to know about the lives and history of the elderly aunt and uncle of the guy who did the slapping? Or the teenage boy who babysits for the slapped kid? It would have been more than enough to further explore the 4 or 5 characters who were directly involved in the plot line.

Would you be willing to try another book from Christos Tsiolkas? Why or why not?

Yes. Because, again, I loved the premise and the writing was strong.

What about Alex Dimitriades’s performance did you like?

LOVED this guy. Took a little warming up but he really came through. His accents, his ability to segue into female and children's roles -- and he even had to sing in some parts! Really, really good. Compelling. And a beautiful Australian accent!
