When a paramedic on a late shift comes across a dead teenager, it brings back a rush of adolescent memories. Breath charts the stories of Piklet and Loonie as they push the boundaries as boys often do, pitting themselves against Western Australia's biggest surf. A story of isolation, lust, salt and growing up.

Half way through this book I was sure I was only going to give it 1 or 2 stars, but I must admit, the end gripped me and thus the extra star was earned.
I really wanted to like this book, but it failed to impress me. This is probably because I know absolutely nothing about surfing, and have never had any real interest in it. That said, I did find the characters compelling, and mostly disturbing and disturbed.
I think a fanatic surfer would love this novel.
