I gave up on this book at the halfway point.

The structure of the book is really scattered. The author tries to weave his personal situations (e.g. the birth of his son) into the already complicated story of the island of Tasmania, but he makes abrupt shifts and leaves out context which make the whole book feel like a jumble.

Among the fluff and nonsense are some nice anecdotes about the island that stick in the memory. These give a narrow but interesting view of Tasmania.
