Book Reviews by Dawn Dowdle

Sorted By Author Name


Our reviewers are not paid for their work; therefore, they choose books they expect to enjoy. Most of us have a "50-page" rule. If we can't get through the first 50 pages, we don't read it and don't review it. Each reviewer has their own criteria for books.  The reviewer's endorsements are their own. For more information about a reviewer, click HERE. For reviews sorted by reviewer, click HERE. Please note that we are in the process of revising how we list reviewers. As a result of this, some may be missing from the contributors page or the index by reviewers page.

Note: There are up to 4 lists per classification or reviewer - two for the "recent" reviews (one each, sorted by Author Name or Title) and two "all reviews" lists (one each, sorted by Author Name or Title). Some lists are very long and are broken up into multiple pages.
Please see HERE for more information.

Don't forget, you can SEARCH Books 'n' Bytes for Author / Title / Subject / any text.
