Writer, Consultant and Advocate for Good Mental Health.
I loved this book ! It’s refreshingly different to most mainstream crime/thriller fiction as it steers well clear of stereotypes and predictable commercial formula most crime novels follow. It had plenty of action and genuine characters, and it takes a good hard look at real life for those on the edge of modern Australian society. A unique combination of a very real look at a man’s daily personal struggle for self-improvement whilst facing mental illness and enemies that chase hard, making for an exciting read.

I loved this book!
I read it in an afternoon, I didnt want to put it down…so i didnt!
It is energetic, colourful and interesting, funny, witty, silly, smart, and gathers you along in a whirly wind until you reach then end. Satisfying. I’d say it was fun to read.

Loved it! Crack Falling is a great read. I loved the main characters Flint and Gwennie. The book is honest and personal and provides a rare insight into how mental illness weaves itself into every aspect of a person’s life. Even though I have finished the book I still find myself thinking about Flint’s life and hope that T.J Clark has more adventures installed for us in the future.
Review on Goodreads
I read Crack Falling in two sittings, but was so drawn in I could have happily stayed up and read it in a night.
Certainly a must-read for anyone familiar with Brisbane in the early nineties, you can visualise the landmarks clearly and there is a certain tempo and vibe that is unmistakably connected with that period and place.
Flint and Gwennie are easy to empathise with and like – you are genuinely wish them a hand up.
It’s an inspiring story of perseverance, survival and the search for a better place in life.
Rivetting reading which I would absolutely recommend.
