There's no doubt it's well written, but it perhaps tries too hard to offend.
Our thanks to publishers Tuskar Rock Press and Atlantic Books for inviting us to review The Slap. We also have a review of Tsiolkas' [[Loaded by Christos Tsiolkas|first book]].
Why not try pretending to be a judge of the Man Booker and working your way through some of the others on this year's long list. We've enjoyed [[Room by Emma Donoghue]], [[The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell]] and [[Trespass by Rose Tremain]].
