What if the world's greatest artist was also its most terrifying monster? My latest review explores Patrick Süskind's Perfume: The Story of a Murderer—its unforgettable anti-hero, themes of obsession and power, and why it became one of Kurt Cobain's favourite novels. #BookReview #Books
Can wealth really buy happiness? My review of John Steinbeck’s The Pearl explores its powerful critique of greed, inequality, and the American Dream. A short but unforgettable novella that showcases Steinbeck at his finest. #BookReview #JohnSteinbeck #ThePearl

The Halfmen of O Review: Maurice Gee’s Dark Young Adult Fantasy Classic
Introduction Maurice Gee’s The Halfmen of O begins in an ordinary corner of rural New Zealand before unfolding into a darker and far stranger other world. Set on a remote farm near Golden Bay, the mutual dislike of cousins Susan and Nick is interrupted by a disturbing encounter with a mysterious old man and a cryptic symbol carved into a stone. From this unsettling beginning, the novel rapidly…
If you’re only going to read ONE book on the Thirty Years War, make it Europe’s Tragedy by Peter H. Wilson. Sweeping yet precise, it untangles religion, power & the Holy Roman Empire with masterful clarity. My full review explores why this history is truly definitive
Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake imagines a chillingly plausible future where corporate science, complacency and ‘playing God’ undo humanity. Through Snowman, Atwood blends dystopia, dark humour and haunting familiarity. Read my full review. A must-read for fans of The Handmaid’s Tale.
The Glass Palace by Amitav Ghosh [A Review]

Set amid the contested islands of the Indian Ocean, the novel draws together four displaced lives whose private crises unfold against the vast machinery of corporate power, espionage, and modern imperialism. Lutz utilises unmoored characters: a manipulative…
My 2026 Reading List
2025 seems to have gone by especially fast for me. Milestones and changes at work and in private, with family and other responsibilities, have made for a time-poor year with very little rest. While it feels like my reading has suffered as I did not read everything I intended to, in terms of page numbers read, it is up there with some of my best years. 2025 Recap In 2025 I failed to complete the…
A Spy Inside the Castle by MB Courtenay [A Review]
M.B. Courtenay’s A Spy Inside the Castle is an ambitious debut that thrusts readers into the murky crossroads of global intelligence, political intrigue, and emerging artificial intelligence. The first instalment of a planned series featuring security analyst–turned–reluctant operative Ethan Briar, Courtenay wastes no time establishing a world where power is hoarded, truth is elusive, and the…
