The BookViral Review:
An endearing collection of short verses, ‘Coffee shop Musings’ moves from amusing to perceptive as it meanders through a plethora of mind wanderings and real-life situations.
Arranged as brief three-line snapshots, each encourages the reader towards a differing perspective as Perlsweig expertly negotiates nature, social commentary and religion, leaving no stone unturned as he weaves his literary magic.
A detour from his usual historical writings, Simon Perlsweig’s initial dabble into poetry has resulted in a pleasing assortment of thoughtful and shrewd prose, leaving the reader to ponder.
However, do not be fooled by their brevity-each contains an insightful precent, often drawing the reader towards treasured memories and meditations of their own.
Commenting on the tiny detail of life, such as in ‘Scattered Bottles’, Perlsweig aptly uses his observational skills to weave miniature tales, reminiscent of Ernest Hemingway’s six-word stories.
Conjuring up an image of a moment in time, sometimes in the form of riddles and conundrums, other times purely as reflections, Perlsweig’s ‘Coffee Shop Musings’ are sometimes humorous, but more often than not contain a wise nugget or valuable truism.
With its lyrical arrangement, rhyming lines, and traditional meter, which stir the reader’s imagination and emotions ‘Coffee Shop Musings’ makes for a relaxing read. A great ‘me time’ journal to pick up and peruse over a steaming hot latte or Earl Grey.
A book perfect for unashamed people watchers and pseudo-psychologists.
It is easy to analyze the mechanism of a good story but more often than not more difficult to explain why a select few are as moving as they are. Yet with The Breedlow Legacy, it’s not only the manner through which the characters are revealed to us but McNamara’s fascinating exploration of memory.
With its relentless pace and clever plot, Zipline makes for an appealing and compelling read but it’s not a read to be rushed with it being the progress of Michael’s plot, not the process, which makes Zipline particularly intriguing.

The explosion in self-publishing and the subsequent success of self-published authors has certainly turned the publishing industry on its head.
You don’t have to be a romantic to believe in broken hearts and yet heartbreak is an intrinsic part of the romantic cycle.
Whilst the issues of prejudice and discrimination are multi-faceted and complicated beyond belief, a key moment for me was the day I picked up ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’. Harper Lee implicitly drilled down the relative unfairness of human existence into my 12-year-old brain, creating a sense of outrage that has stayed with me throughout my life.
