Satire is always difficult to write and often is difficult to understand. We have read the works of many authors who have failed in their attempts; not Condon. He's a master at it…. In a very funny, wild chase across the Australian outback—including a flight in a balloon—Condon pulls out all stops [in Bandicoot]. Condon deals in impossible situations but he makes them very plausible—and funny. (p. 31)
