Reviews
The Killing Lessons by Saul Black: “Unbelievably good...this one has it all." - Lee Child
The Strays by Emily Bitto: "You could lift out any sentence in The Strays and admire the sheer artistry of its melody and composition. What’s especially wonderful about Bitto’s literary novel is the story never feels weighed down by style. It’s an immensely pleasurable read." - Bookseller and Publisher
Work Rules by Laszlo Bock: “Work Rules! is an essential read.” - Daniel Pink (NF)
The Last Pulse by Anson Cameron: “It’s a delight, and it’s more effective in making its point than wider, po-faced narratives.” - The Saturday Paper
The Serpent Papers by Jessica Cornwell: “She’s an original, entertaining writer. I finished this episode wanting more, and pleasingly frustrated by the questions left unanswered." - The Guardian
Mindful Work by David Gelles: “Readers curious about the benefits of mindfulness at work or in their personal lives will appreciate this book.” - Booklist (NF)
J by Howard Jacobson: “It’s harder to see Roth in the thrilling and enigmatic refractions of J, whose subtle profundities and warm intelligence are Jacobson’s own. . . . J is not a joyful book, by any means, but its insistent vitality offers something more than horror: a vision of the world in which even the unsayable can, almost, be explained.” - The New York Times Book Review
Her by Harriet Lane: “This is psychological bait-and-switchery to put on the shelf alongside Patricia Highsmith and Georges Simenon.” – The New York Times Book Review
Screening Room by Alan Lightman: “Like his incomparable novel Einstein's Dreams, this memoir is, at its core, a tender meditation on the passage of time. With Lightman we can smell the "sweet honeysuckle of memory" as we appreciate the joy and sorrow of his homecoming.” – ShelfAwareness (NF)
