Book reviews
I write book reviews. Mostly, they appear in the Saturday edition of Brisbane’s newspaper, the Courier-Mail. The format of most of these reviews is quite short; sometimes it’s difficult to review in 250 words. (Other times, that’s more than enough.)
I hope to track the process of the books I’m reviewing in my blog. Reviews written over the past couple of years are here. They may not be reproduced or copied.
Below is a list of reviews by title. You should be able to access them by author via the list on the sidebar, if you wish.
