BOOK REVIEWS

Turtles All the Way Down
Green beautifully tackles mental illness in ‘Turtles All the Way Down’ (2017, 2024)

‘Earthlings’ (2018) gives shocking insider insight into outsiders
A Princess of Mars
‘A Princess of Mars’ (1912) crumples under weight of what came later

‘Running Grave’ (2023) is Rowling’s literal cult classic
A Simple Plan book
‘A Simple Plan’ (1993, 1998) chillingly shows how easily things can spiral

Rowling’s stark ‘Casual Vacancy’ (2012) bridges Potter and Strike

‘QualityLand’ (2017) hits uncomfortably close to reality

So what I did was, I re-read ‘Catcher in the Rye’ (1951)
