We’ve run book reviews for many years on The Moderate Voice. Starting this week I’ll be doing a series of what I call “capsule” book reviews: book reviews that will run a few short paragraphs. This is due to a backlog of books and DVDs that need to be reviewed but also because on some reviews I personally feel a short review says it better than a long detailed one. Each will have an Amazon icon so you can explore other reviews or order it if you wish.
