Reviews

Here, I'll try to include links to anything that looks more or less like a review of the book, either posted by individuals on their sites or published in print or Web periodicals, as long as I can link to it directly. I'll also list reviews that I know about but aren't online.

Other Discussion Online

I plan to link anything that doesn't immediately look like a review, but involves discussion of Twisty Little Passages, in this section. This includes news articles that mention the book.

Please let me know (my address is "nickm" at this domain, nickm.com) if you've written something that should be listed here or know of something that should be. Also, if you wrote something that you considered a review and I ended up putting it in "Other Discussion," sorry! Let me know and I'll move it. —nm
