Reviews on "In Moral Danger"

Karl Quinn, The Age

"Barbara Biggs has had the sort of life even Charles Dickens wouldn't have wished upon his fictional characters...but it also makes for hilarious reading."

Andrew Rule, Good Weekend

"Part Lolita, part The Getting of Wisdom, part Jerry Springer grotesque, it is a gritty real-life soap opera told with brutal candour and black humour".

Claire Heaney, Herald Sun

"Barbara Biggs may have set a new benchmark with her no-holds barred account of her extraordinary life".

Cath Kenneally, The Australian

"An unflinching story...disturbing on so many counts you lose track...going for the jugular, sparing us and herself nothing."

Margie Thomson, New Zealand Herald on Sunday “View Magazine” 17/4/2005

“Gut-wrenchingly sad as some of it is, Biggs tells her story with great literary panache. She…is unflinchingly honest to the point of hilariousness in the descriptions of her naivete, neediness and blindness to others’ predatory intentions. But it’s her hard-arsed blunt Aussie wit that lifts her book stratospherically above grim.”

Margie Thomson, Sunday View

“Barbara Biggs’ bizarre life story has more plot than an overheated novel…while harrowing, it’s full of verve and sheer good storytelling.”

Anthony Hubbarb, Sunday Star Times

“Barbara Biggs’ life has been stranger than fiction. Little wonder she had the material for a second volume of memoirs. (The Road Home).…is a funny and life-affirming book, full of a black delight in the telling."
