Australian reviews

 

'Darrel Cake's tale of surf, alternative lifestyles with a little romance thrown in, comes as a refreshing interlude into the oft mundane life of the reviewer.

We are taken into the surfing scene as never before and this is described with a simplicity even the non-surfer can feel at home with.  I enjoyed this book and recommend it to those into surf or who wish they were'.

Shoalhaven Independent, NSW South Coast  

 

'...an engaging combination of romance, adventure and the recurring conflict between city and country values.'

The Sunday Times, Western Australia

 

'Surfing and the country life are the keys to a narrative which is simply and effectively told.'

The Gold Coast Bulletin, Queensland

 

'A modern mythological tale.  Makes for very good reading.' ABC Regional Radio   'Ferals has a nice local feel  that made me read to the end... some deftly descriptive surfing  prose. Very touchy-feely.'      Northern Echo, Lismore/Byron Bay, NSW

The farm house "Shady Grove".

 

Written in plain English, Ferals is enjoyable enough and its surfing themes will appeal to a lot of readers.'

The Gold Coast Mail, Queensland

 

'A colourful, friendly tale. It is not difficult to picture each and every character - in fact, at times you are almost sure you can hear them chatting to one another.

The Goldfields-Esperance Magazine 

 

'Uniquely Australian...Ferals is an interesting journey with some poignant points on society and city living.'

Portland Observer, Victoria
