There is no one answer to this question as what makes a good book is subjective and different for everyone. However, I can tell you a bit about Breath by Tim Winton to help you decide if it is a good book for you.
Breath is a novel about two teenage boys growing up in a small town in Western Australia. It is a coming of age story about their friendship, their love of surfing, and their journey to find themselves.
Some people love Breath for its beautiful writing and its portrait of small town life. Others find the story slow-moving and depressing. If you are looking for a fast-paced, action-packed novel, this may not be the book for you. However, if you enjoy novels that explore the human condition and relationships, you may find Breath to be a good book.
ultimately, the decision of whether or not to read Breath is up to you. I would suggest reading some reviews from other readers to get a better idea of whether or not this book is for you.
Here are a few reviews of Breath from Goodreads:
"Breath turned out to be one of the most intense, beautiful, aching books I've read in a good long while."
"I found this book quite difficult to get into but once I did I absolutely loved it."
"Breath is a slow moving novel set in Western Australia. It is the mid-1970s and two teenage boys, Pikelet and Loonie, spend their days surfing and getting into trouble."
