The Story Of Danny Dunn (2009) - Plot & Excerpts

I plodded through this book and found it completely unrealistic and unbelievable. Most of Bryce Courtneys books have an element of "as if" to them but this one just seemed to jump from one contrived drama to the next leaving you feeling like Mr Courtney was trying to to hard to pull the emotional heart strings (unsuccessfully). I found the main characters stereo typed, impossible over achievers and often just plain annoying in their perfectionism. It got 4 stars instead of 5 because I was very angry at the ending (not giving anything away). Every time I read Bryce Courtenay I am reminded that I need to read more of him. He is a master storyteller. The topic of this book didn't really catch my attention (I started reading it because I had finished another book while I was away and it was my mother in laws) but it was engrossing. He writes so well that it doesn't matter the setting.
