{{newreview

|author= Anthony McGowan

|title= The Art of Failing: Notes from the Underdog

|rating= 4

|genre= Autobiography

|summary= I had not come across Anthony McGowan's work before reading this book, as he mainly writes for Young Adults. I can imagine his books to be engaging and humorous from the clever way he constructs sentences, and the ironic subtlety with which he uses descriptive details.

|author= Harry Leslie Smith

Xu Hongci was an ordinary medical student when he was incarcerated under Mao's regime and forced to spend years of his youth in some of China's most brutal labour camps. Three times he tried to escape. And three times he failed. But, determined, he eventually broke free, travelling the length of China, across the Gobi desert, and into Mongolia.

~~|title= In Search of Sundance, Nessie...and Paradise~~

~~|rating= 4~~

~~|genre= Travel~~

|summary= Books are personal. There are three things that signal good books to me: how I feel while reading them and in the enforced spaces between reading them, the degree to which I bore everyone around me for ages afterwards by quoting them and talking about them, and whether I remember how, when and where I first read them. That last criterion can only be judged later, but on the first two ''In Search of Sundance…'' definitely qualifies.
