Journal Entry 2 by grubsneerg at Greensburg, Pennsylvania USA on Friday, September 17, 2010
I knew when I started reading this book that there had been some controversy concerning its veracity. Originally released as a nonfiction memoir, it is now sold as fiction and is often found in the new age section of bookstores. If you Google "mutant message down under hoax," you will find a slew of websites that contain various degrees of vitriol for the author, Marlo Morgan, and how she exploited the native Australian Aborigines—as generations of oppressors have done before her—with her fantastical tale. Read as fiction, the story is just so-so; the writing, plot, and pace are inconsistent. What may have been forgivable had the story been true, is, as fiction, its downfall.
