Have finished reading this book, ONE MORE TIME by DAMIEN LEITH. Good sized book to read, but what a sad story. Wondered whether it was based on the author's own life experiences. The author was the winner of the Australian Idol 2006.
The story is set in Nepal, and tells the story of Sean who is on a trek to one of the base stations - Sean is Irish, and running away from his obsessions. Had a compulsive disorder and thinks that if he doesn't pray all the time for the people he loves, then something bad will happen to them.

Thoroughly enjoyed this novel One More Time, which has some elements of the author Damien Leith in it.
It's easy reading, attention grabbing, surprisingly sad in places,romantically teasing and has an easy flow to it. All of my friends have also enjoyed it, including one elderly 'non-reader', he "couldn't put it down".
Looking forward to the next novel which should be finished by the end of 2008.
Thanks for your feedback on this book.
Part of the story stay with you for a while.
Have just started reading SHANTARAM, and feel that this is going to be an interesting story as well.
I started reading it, prepared to be especially critical of the author as a writer because I love him as a singer....but have to tell you, I was won over. The writing is actually really good! A slow start in the first chapter, but by the third I was pulled right into the characters troubled world. I read it in one sitting, late into the night. Can't wait for his next one now!
