Giant Days: Where Women Glow & Men Plunder
John Allison does it again.
It's unsurprisingly a delight. John Allison is just really great at writing characters that are both funny and make you like them. I also love the fact that he used a load of Home and Away character names (Tug, Alf, Mitch) and the fact that someone actually said 'go on, get out of it , you mongrels!' which I can only ever hear in Alf Stewart's voice.
I wasn't sure that Nina was a character that would develop much, but she's really after growing on me. There is a part of me just grateful that she's absolutely nothing like Ingrid, but it's not only that. She's sweet and straightforward and isn't afraid to be herself. And I think that 'class out the arse panel is one of the John Allison classics up there with 'live life like a bullet train' one of Esther.
Yet another funny and heartwarming issue, then.
