[edit] comment re spoiler
The "spoiler" is grossly inaccurate and should be changed accordingly. Perhaps the true story that the cannibalism reference is based on resembles what is provided in the spoiler, but in the novel itself Dawes never commits any acts of cannibalism. The closest correlation is that when he discovers that he's been abandoned at the prison settlement, he sets off to get to safety and freedom and comes across the corpse of a fellow prisoner, its skull bashed in and its arm missing. 144.89.185.191 01:33, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] response to references
The movies - 1908 1927 and 1980's have been linked to the imbd databases entries - the book in two australian editions has been cited - and a review of the book is linked to as well SatuSuro 12:34, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
