Book reviewing

I was a regular reviewer for the Townsville Bulletin from late 2004 until late 2011 when editorial policies changed and neither I nor the newspaper wanted me to continue. I have also reviewed for Viewpoint for Young Adults, LiNQ and other publications, and written a few reviews just for Green Path, so the list below comprises just some of the more recent additions to a substantial list. Where the books are relevant enough to Green Path, I have uploaded them and the links will take you straight to them.
