Helpful Score: 3
It wasn't anything like I thought it would be, the actual slap is kind of a minor part. I felt like the premise was buried most of the time. It's mostly a bunch of character studies and a couple of them I really didn't like. There was one woman that I hated with a passion and couldn't wait for her chapter to end. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't great either, the people don't really have all that much to do with each other and their intersections are mostly minor. I had a little trouble with the Aussie slang because it seems as if each character is a different ethnicity and he uses a lot of slang terms (which may or may not be rude, I don't know) and it can be hard to know what he's actually referring to. For instance there's an Aborigine married to Muslim, an Indian married to a Greek, an Aussie married to a transplanted Brit, and he'll say things like "The wog said..." when they're all together. Well, which one is the wog?
It is fairly crude, with bold language and sex. A definite R rating.
