EVER BOUGHT A BOOK ON THE STRENGTH OF THE REVIEWS ON THE BACK???

If you are like us (and probably one of the many thousands of book lovers across the globe) and have had the misfortune of spending your hard-earned cash on an apparent "best-seller"; you will probably also have experienced the dull thud as you bang your head against the wall, thinking "Why did I listen to the reviews on the back?!" The truth is: reviews found on books are usually self-promoting, PR stunt-type hype and not necessarily a true reflection of the books' quality at all.

It is our aim to tell the truth about books, but don't for one second assume that that is synonymous with us creating a blog to 'diss' authors' work - to the contrary - our intention is to provide an honest appraisal of each and every book we read. If the book is any good - it'll get a good review. If it's awful and a tragedy to the literary world - then it won't. It's that simple.

A Case of Wild Justice by Yvonne Jerrold


We just couldn't pass up the opportunity to review A Case of Wild Justice by Yvonne Jerrold - the highly original take on how to tackle crime in these modern times of limited police intervention and ever increasing support for perpetrators - had us hooked before we'd even started. And the concept of the Silver Bees is both extraordinary and entirely believeable - why couldn't the elderly population take matters into their own hands in order to feel safer?
