This comic Australian epic is dark and funny and exciting and has a wide span. It remains consistent even though some sections are authored by the protagonist's father rather than the protagonist himself, and it remains engaging even though some sections involve murders and fires and gang wars and other sections are about love interests and depression. A lot happens in this book and a lot of characters die when you aren't expecting them to, and in some ways it's a bit unsatisfying because not everything is resolved in the way you want it and some things are never resolved. But I was happy everything didn't get wrapped up in a bow for me, and real life doesn't always resolve perfectly either.
