About the book reviewer

Alan McClymont

Alan McClymont is an English teacher in Taiwan. He is 24 years old and spends most of his time trying to convince others that that is not too young. In fact he spends most of his time trying to convince everyone of his point of view on every subject imaginable. When he is not trying to argue his case he is usually to be found in front of his computer writing pieces for various e-zines and newspapers (arguing his point in text rather than verbally).

Ideally he would like to write political commentary and features for a national broadsheet newspaper in Britain or Australia but can't seem to find the time at the moment to actually sit down and start to go through the long process of attempting to do so.

Most of his other free time is taken up with traveling which, until recently was an alien adventure to him, but he has now been in Asia for two years and has seen much of the region and intends to see much more. He is currently working on a web-site of writing samples and travel diaries which is accessible now and should be completed soon. The site can be viewed at http://alan_mcclymont.tripod.com/alansworld/ . Feel free to come and look around and make comments as you please.
