BOOK REVIEWS

I regularly review novels (both old and new) I have read on my other blog, and I thought it might be useful to group them together in one place. I will add to this list as I review them. Last couple of years this has been a mix of contemporary fiction, including shortlisted novels; SF, as occasional attendee at the Manchester SF Book Club; and back catalogue from favourite authors.
