The Scoop Review of Books was launched this week.

The site is a book review and general books site linked to Scoop Media and edited by Jeremy Rose.

The first "issue" features the first Bougainvillian comment on Mr Pip, David Geary on Owen Marshall's Dry Bread, Mark Derby reports on Ian McEwan’s recent reading at the Embassy theatre, and more.

Be sure to have a look at the site at http://books.scoop.co.nz/
