J.HunterDunn Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I have been following the Leopards adventures from the beginning on another website, because my eyes get less sore there. As I am not into sports at all I had my doubts in the beginning, but you soon got me hooked, Graeme. A great story and my Sundays won't be the same without the weekly dose of Australian champs. Thank you so much for all the pleasurable reading hours and whenever you will be ready for more I will be as well ... along with many others. Peter. 4 Link to comment

Drew Espinosa Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) LOL, Drew, that's exactly the reaction I had. Hehe, I wonder if anyone didn't think he was a creep initially. Anyways, I disliked Ty's real father in the last book, but I really despise him in this one Edited May 16, 2016 by Drew Espinosa 3 Link to comment

Anyways, I disliked Ty's real father in the last book, but I really despise him in this one I definitely thought he was a creep, albeit a very sad creep. I usually refer to the man as "Ty's crappy dad." And he hasn't improved with time. Edited May 16, 2016 by impunity 2 Link to comment
Drew Espinosa Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Okay, I'm further along in the story. I'm at the end of chapter six, after Deon meets his dad for the first time in years. And the end had me laughing with the banter about "aerial ping-pong" I wonder if the Leopards will be able to convert Marcus into an Aussie Rules fan. 3 Link to comment

I'm sure it's not too much of a spoiler to say they end up watching a whole lot of Deon's games and Marcus hasn't died of excessive football watching yet. At one point, I commented on the predominant theme of fatherhood in this book, and the contrasts among the various fathers and father figures: Neil's dad, Deon's dad, Ty's crappy bio dad, and (of course) "dad." Edit: Actually, I just remembered there was another dad in my original comment, but I think that would be a spoiler. Edited May 18, 2016 by impunity 2 Link to comment

Site Administrator Graeme Posted May 18, 2016 Author Site Administrator Share Posted May 18, 2016 I was wrong. I found the post that Impunity was referring to and it was someone else: Neil's big brother (if that's a sufficient hint without being a spoiler) 1 Link to comment

Of course ! how could I forget Becky ! You looked, Drew, right? Edited July 24, 2019 by Timothy M. 1 Link to comment
impunity Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) Haha! I had no idea I was going to cause so much intrigue. If it weren't for the time zones (and the need to sleep occasionally), I'd have PMed you both. Drew, the dad isn't that exciting. The spoiler is whose dad it is. There's a main character you aren't aware of yet. This character's dad is fairly perpheral but contributes to the overall theme. Graeme, I'm not sure I'd consider the Irish guy a father figure so much as a facilitator (and a relatively self-serving one at thst), but I hope we get to see more of him in the future. Edit: And I just realized (somewhat belatedly) that Graeme picked an entirely different spoilery father figure than the one I had in mind. "Big brother" kind of confused me, but I shrugged it off initially. I had to dig out that old post to make sure. Next time I'll do that first before making cryptic references.

Are you caught up with the rest of us yet? Edited July 2, 2016 by impunity Link to comment
