THE EYE OF ULAM By Terry Denton




Terry Denton was born in Melbourne in 1950. He is one of Australia's busied literacy writer. The eye of Ulam was published in 2001. It is a fiction comic adventure book. There are 130 pages in this book but it is mostly comics with pictures. This book is about a guy who lost his eye and need to put the eye on the statues of Ulam to get his it back.

The first part of the plot is an easy to know. First, there is a guy called Nico he likes to surf and he’s been participated in a surfing championship. He has been practicing but then his friend says that his other friend has lost so he to decide to save his friend and give up the surfing championship. The story is at the statue of Ulam. The pace of the story is quite slow. It’s not that fast and it’s not straightforward. It’s not straightforward because it doesn’t tell you straight away that his friend is lost. It tells you one thing at a time. This is a good thing because it makes you more interesting.

The part that I enjoy is the part where there is comic, I think the part is funny. I don’t like the part where there are too many writings. The plat of the story was ok not to interesting and it wont to boring. The character was not believable because there is a character with only one eye. I think the novel is suitable foe a year 6-7 kid. I would recommend this to some people because it is a bit funny so I think it’s not a really bad book.
