I have to be honest here – I read this book because I saw the film trailer. The trailer was very intriguing. First, Carmody Braque (the villain of The Changeover) is played by none other than the actor Peter Pettigrew. Even in 2 minutes, it was surreal to see a Harry Potter actor in a New Zealand film. And that’s it – very few books by New Zealand authors have been made into films. Judging by how well-known The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit are, The Changeover may very well be the next big thing.  Read more
