The main thing about this blog is that I only review books I have read myself.
I write from a reader's perspective. I try and convey what the book is about and how well it communicates its story. For me, both matter. A good story badly told is a lost opportunity.
A bad story well told is often... intriguing!
I read a wide range of genres and authors from many countries so I hope to expand people's range of reading material.
I studied World Literature at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, NZ. It gave me the opportunity to read great books and it honed my instincts as to what is a good story, well told.
I want to encourage people to read. Any time you are sitting around waiting for something or someone, take it as an opportunity to read rather than as a waste of time.
I have books in the car which I eventually get through ten minutes at a time...Anyone can do it.
