In complete contrast to her record-breaking, heart-rending autobiographical bestsellers, Suzannah Burke has taken her literary career a giant step further into possibly the most difficult genre there is to write - comedy. And this isn't just ordinary comedy - this is comedy of the highest order, and for the cherry on the cake it is also laced with romance.

It's a book that could only have been written by an Australian. It bubbles over with the atmosphere of a totally unique country, created by a totally unique author. With every word from the tongue of a born and bred Australian, there isn't a single page when you don't feel you are right there on that paradise island, eavesdropping on this amazing array of characters - the privileged visitors and the motley crowd of locals who run the show. Not least the most unlikely hero of the lot - a zany crocodile called Cyril, who has somehow acquired totally human perceptions, dislikes and likes - right down to his sexual fantasies.

It's easy to imagine yourself on this beautiful Barrier Reef island, where the fabulous Dudes Down Under resort attracts the rich and famous and gives them the holiday of their lives, and where they can let their hair down without long lens cameras recording their every scandalous move. And they do, oh yes, they do.

You can smell the air, the lush foliage and the food. You can languish in the luxurious accommodation, in the bars and the pools. You can follow the sexual exploits and intrigues of the rich and famous and those of the owner and staff of the resort. Beautiful adorable Lucy who you can easily fall in love with yourself, Skeet and
all the others who adorn this wonderfully written novel.

If you love comedy, wit and humour, romance and laughing out loud, then you'll love this book.
