  Brilliant, engaging and a story men or women can relate to. You will find Breath hard to put down. A great book also for teenage boys moving towards manhood. Breath is a raw look into the passage of a boy into manhood. One of Winton's true talents is the ability to ensure his readers engage with the protagonist in his novels. It's easy to feel Pikelet's lonliness, frustration and his fear. His passage into manhood comes through his friendships and learning to surf. There is always a dark side to Tim Winton's novels, but this just makes the stories more real and appealing to his readers. While Breath may well be Winton's masterpiece, I really look forward to what comes next from this writer.
