Klein argued, "Just when Hello and Goodbye threatens to plunge an audience into terminal despair, Mr. Fugard's words pull it into reverse, casting forth images in lyric flight."

The uncovering of mother's clothes, shoes she wore as a child, Johnie's application to the railway (a lie exposed), reveal a depth of character which the brittle surface of her Jo'burg self has been at pains to conceal.

Maureen Ryan of Variety wrote, > The action scenes scattered throughout Into the Badlands are not just > stirringly presented, they represent a test passed with flying, and bloody, > colors. This efficient AMC series is an homage to classic Samurai films and > kinetic action fare churned out by Hong Kong maestros of furious fists, and > if the TV drama had failed to meet the standards set by the sturdiest > examples of those genres, it would have seemed superfluous at best. > Fortunately, star Daniel Wu is more than up to the task of occupying the > center of this streamlined story of vengeance, tyranny and roundhouse kicks.

""In Strange Company", The Telegraph, 12 October 1895, p7 Continuing that approach, a reviewer in The Morning Bulletin (Rockhampton) found some worth in the book: "In Strange Company is a rattling story of adventure, in the course of which the reader is carried from the Isle of Wight to London, thence to the Argentine Republic, from there to Chili, then to Tahiti, Thursday Island; Batavia, and back to London where the tale finishes. Mr. Boothby tells his story vividly and stirringly, and if he fills it with incredible incidents he does not annoy the reader by fine-spun attempts to give an air of strict truth and literal accuracy to every turn of his narrative. Neither does he weary him with long descriptions of scenery. The beauty of the southern seas has evidently touched Mr. Boothby closely, and at times he gives a distinct impression of the islands of the Pacific in a few crisp sentences.

In a review for The Observer, Stephanie Merritt commented on the difference between he language in this novel and Millers previous, historical, offerings, stating "his prose here is deliberately unadorned, an accumulation of observed detail in brief, one-clause sentences to create scenes of photographic reality.".
