disappointing, this story did not grab me until the last few chapters as it was in these chapters that the title matched the story line. Prior to this it was all about an over protective depressed mother and her son who was trying to get even with the bullies next door. The characters in the story portrayed a blended NZ family and as I read I kept thinking, ' Is this what NZ family life has become? or ‘For goodness sake is there no safe place in NZ’ or ‘Are you going to get punched and kicked in your street, mall or beach? “This weak story is about a submissive father and confident daughter from his first marriage living with an over protective, manic depressed partner and her molly coddled son, Anthony. Anthony wants to earn money and due to his naivety he believes he can catch a paua poaching ring and hold them to ransom. ( )
