Book Reviews - Your chance to be a critic and help the cause!

You can help publicise the Mill of the Flea series and other books by George East by becoming a critic. Many book-selling sites on the web offer copies of the series, and some- like Waterstones, Amazon and Bol - offer readers the facility to record their thoughts in the form of a review. If you have a minute, please visit a suitable bookseller’s site and tell other readers what you think about a specific book and the Mill series as a whole. Reviews do help sales, and enable Donella to feed her wildlife flock and George to go on ‘research’ expeditions to local bars even more frequently! Thanks.
