Robert has written more than 40 book reviews, some quite in-depth, on the Middle Way Society site. The books are usually ones that make a substantial contribution to Middle Way thought (or occasionally only look superficially as though they do). There are also a few earlier ones on a blog site he produced before 2013. All those reviews are listed here in order of surname of the author of the book reviewed (there is an alternative subject-based menu on the Middle Way Society site<\/strong><\/a>).
