What would you do if all the men in your life started turning into women? Such is the predicament faced by Reuben, a twenty-something lad from contemporary urban Australia.

Affable, likable and at least moderately handsome, Reuben is a bit miffed with life. His career has stalled, he's mired firmly in Best Friends Country with the loins-achingly beautiful Deidre, and his best mate Morrie's shag-happy ways are making Reuben wonder why he ever liked the womanising man-whore in the first place.

So when a terrorist group of Militant Feminists unleashes a terrible biological weapon upon the world, a weapon guaranteed to turn every single man into a woman, Reuben can't help but feel that there may in fact be a great steaming turd in his hat. As it were.

Tempted though he may be to crawl into a box and gibber madly in blind panic, Reuben eventually reasons that there's no sense in making a fuss. Indeed, he can actually think of an upside:

"Tits might be nice."

While Reuben waits patiently for the aforementioned tits to eventuate, he soon finds himself amongst a rapidly diminishing male minority. With each passing day, men are vanishing from the streets to be replaced by an increasingly baffled and bemused number of new women, all of them replete with
the feelings, thoughts and behaviours of members of the fairer sex.

With the authorities searching desperately for a cure, as the male population dwindles and the female population explodes, the whole world is given to wonder: will there be a last man standing? Is there a man, just one man immune to the Femmo's terrible weapon? And if so, what salvation may he bring?

'The Turning' by Mark Barwell offers a fun and surprisingly incisive view on the intricacies and idiosyncrasies of the female mind. We observe the changes wrought on the friendship of two men when one of them turns into a woman, we track the strains placed upon a boy-girl relationship as the
boy becomes a girl, and we chart entirely new territory when a newly-turned woman finds herself falling for an unsuspecting man.

The tale is seditious in tone and subversive in approach, dealing with the serious things in life - feelings, relationships, personal identity as defined by gender, and so forth - with a wicked insight and a knowing grin. Whether you're a student of inter-gender social politics, a woman who's always wished the men in her life could see what womanhood is all about, or a man suddenly wondering how his luck might improve if all his mates sprouted vaginas, 'The Turning' is a thought-provoking and compelling read. Just you see if you can put it down!

5,0 su 5 stelle A true gender-bender...
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 24 maggio 2013
Acquisto verificato
I liked this book. Barwell wrote an at times, laugh out loud funny story.

The story follows a group of friends through tumultuous times. A terrorist group of feminists release a chemical weapon that's still under development. No, it's not a tragedy that follows, but it is life altering and it is global. It changes men into women.

I don't know who Barwell had on tap for his research into a woman's mind, but..."Bravo!" And I have to add that it was just as funny getting a candid glimpse into a man's mind.

And, maybe I'm stretching things, but it dug a little deeper. That might have been incidental, but it delves into notions of gender, sexual orientation, masculinity, femininity. It was fun to watch it all unravel as a former "player" was forced to deal with the female side of a relationship, and to examine his former attitude about women and love.

To say it was a gender-bender was an understatement--a big one.

The book is set in Australia (where Barwell lives) and is heavy on the Aussie culture. At one point (spoiler alert) I wanted to argue with him and tell him that I know with certainty that the last man standing would be American (my tongue is in my cheek--and I'm laughing) but since it's fiction, I'll go with it.

Good book, lots of humor, lots of heart, a few cliches but they add to the humor. Five stars.

5,0 su 5 stelle Playful unique sexual swapping yarn
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 26 dicembre 2012

The Turning by Mark Barwell starts like bar room banter between two drunk blokes dreaming up bizarre situations and following them through between more and more gulps of beer. Feminists turning men into women. It's ridiculous and fanciful but lots of fun. Like a Fosters advert. But at the same time very readable, and as you ride along with Mark's tongue in cheek scenario, you find yourself getting sucked in and believing it could happen. You find yourself asking how would I cope if turned? And you find yourself second guessing Mark's key characters. As the population of the world turns to the fairer, more considerate sex, the style of writing also evolves to a more subtle and considered prose. In the latter stages of the book, Mark uses lines like, "It was one of those crowded silences that bumped and jostled with a hundred unspoken thoughts" ... beautiful. And as the tale nears the end, the pace of writing picks up as the book races to a gripping crescendo. I would recommend The Turning to readers of all ages ... men and women. A riveting tale.

4,0 su 5 stelle The Turning review
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 28 dicembre 2012
Acquisto verificato
I liked the story very much and it proved to be very entertaining. Some of the plot was predictable but enjoyable just the same. My only dislike was that the story seemed to end to soon, it could have gone on for a page or two more just to close some lose ends.

As for the plot: I like that one of the characters was immune almost to the end, but when he finally turns and his friend gives birth. I was expecting for his friend to turn back to a he, and they could continue as couple. Seemed that would have been appropriate.

The author stated that is was his first book, but I think he is just being modest. This book seem have been written by a veteran of the trade.

The book does end in a cliff hanger, so I expect the author to grace us with a sequel.

Great book, highly recommend.

5,0 su 5 stelle Fabulous fantasy transgender novel
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 8 marzo 2013
Acquisto verificato
Without doubt the best transgender novel I have read thus far. Set in Australia which has a certain male macho reputation outside the larger cities and using the usual scientific hocus pocus to justify the basis but written in such a way that one can really identify with all the characters and believe in their feelings.

Brilliant writing style and the way the principal love scene was written was quite masterful. The ending ( my lips are sealed ) even suggests that there could be a sequel and this book would make a superlative B film that could, with star backing, become a classic.
