Book Review: How to Watch the Rugby World Cup 2011

Kait O'Callahan reviews 'How to Watch the Rugby World Cup 2011' by Spiro Zavos - a book that is absorbing from start to finish, and one that will sit on the bookshelves long after the final whistle is blown.

Mia Culpa by Mia Freedman

Sharon Green reviews Mia Freedman's latest book, Mia Culpa. Whilst it's a light collection of stories, peppered with charm and humour, it revisits Freedman's old columns far too frequently, and as such offers nothing fresh, but everything recycled.

Sydney Good Pub Food Guide 2011

Sarah Kempson reviews the latest book from Michi, 'What On Earth Are You Wearing?'. It's a humourous 'michipedia' of fashion terms and trends, and a book that everyone will love. Even your dad. Seriously, He Will.

‘Campaign Ruby’ by Jessica Rudd

Jessica Rudd's stylish debut novel positions her securely alongside the Australian femme fictions likes of Zoe Foster and Maggie Alderson - and that is great company to be in. Beth Keamy reviews 'Campaign Ruby'. Read The Review.
