In a future Earth ravaged by pollution and climate change, the only hope for the survival of humanity lies in a parallel dimension. More Articles
1 October, 2008 This is the final volume of the ‘Tide Lords’ quartet. From the first volume, The Immortal Prince, onwards Fallon has taken her readers on a journey further and further away from the usual fantasy expectations. 
1 October, 2008 Richard Flanagan’s fourth novel is set in his native Tasmania, and returns to the troubled early history of the colony in the mid 19th century. 
1 October, 2008 An odd title (which refers to the infinity symbol) and 50 or so pages of stilted, naive dialogue and irritating moralising, did not make me want to continue reading this novel. 
1 October, 2008 People will buy this collection of erotic short stories, because of the author names they are familiar with. 
1 October, 2008 Grace Notes by Jenny Pattrick is a lively read, with well-rounded characters, feisty dialogue and excellent sense of location. 
1 October, 2008 It’s the sixth year of UQP’s ‘Best Australian Poetry’ series, and guest editor David Brooks, whose recent novel was shortlisted for the 2008 Miles Franklin award, invites us to once again sample the cream of contemporary Australian poetry. 
1 October, 2008 Like a child reading Animalia for the first time I devoured this illustrated biography of a talented and fortunate man in one extended reading and then went back to examine choice pages. 
1 September, 2008 According to a recent poll of 15,000 Dymocks booklover members, Pride and Prejudice is considered one of the best books ever written and yet one that I am shamefaced to admit has never quite made it to the top of my reading pile. 
1 September, 2008 If you’ve read Laurens’ ‘Bastion Club’ series you’ll find Edge of Desire similar to the previous seven books. 
1 September, 2008 With the novella Vertigo, award-winning author Amanda Lohrey (The Philosopher’s Doll, Camille’s Bread) once more taps into the Australian zeitgeist. 
1 September, 2008 The Slap’s action hinges around a Melbourne suburban BBQ. 
1 September, 2008 Lots of words have more than one meaning and in Ice Louis Nowra explores the many meanings of this three letter word to construct an entertaining and thoroughly engaging historical novel set mostly in Australia in the late 19th century. 
1 September, 2008 Deception is Michael Meehan’s third novel, following on from the award-winners 
1 September, 2008 Crossing Paths falls with a resounding thump into the category of chick-lit. Which isn’t a slight on this book; on the contrary, I found it to be a relaxing, funny read. 
1 September, 2008 The narrator is Isabel, an attractive, intelligent woman reflecting on her life and family, whom we follow from her first marriage to her awareness of limitations brought by middle-age. We all know an ‘Isabel’ in our circle of family or friends. 
12 August, 2008 Richard Francis Burton was as explorer, translator, writer, soldier, orientalist, ethnologist, linguist, poet, hypnotist, fencer and diplomat. So says Wikipedia. And if the success of a novel based on the life of an historic personage is that it makes you want to know more about that person, then, in my case, The Collector of Worlds, clearly succeeded. 
1 August, 2008 Books about humour don’t have to be funny, but they must be careful not to kill the thing they love. 
1 August, 2008 The SBS Story is described as the first ‘comprehensive account’ of the development and significance of the ‘world’s first multicultural public service broadcaster’, and it is. 
1 August, 2008 Refugees and Rebels: Indonesian Exiles in Wartime Australia provides a fascinating account of a unique and important part of Australia’s social and wartime history. 
1 August, 2008 Australians in general could certainly be more familiar with political events and ideas in Asia. 
1 August, 2008 This book makes an important contribution to an emerging field of study: the Australian diaspora in Europe, but it is more complex than this description implies. 
1 August, 2008 Melbourne-based author James Phelan continues to redefine the often stale and cliché-ridden political thriller genre. 
1 August, 2008 From a tiny apartment in Cold War St Petersburg Sofi and her cousins Natalya and Lena dream of the riches the West has to offer. 
1 August, 2008 Opening with Australian outback imagery reminiscent of a Kate Grenville novel, Carol Lefevre introduces us to the parched country town of Sugarbag and the residents within. |
