Our review blog, Everybody's Reviewing, recently passed one and a half million readers. To celebrate this milestone, the Centre for New Writing in conjunction with Everybody's Reviewing ran a Book Review Competition. Current undergraduate and postgraduate students at the University of Leicester were invited to write short reviews of any book they've recently enjoyed. You can read more about the competition here.
The judging is now complete, and below you can see the results. The judges have awarded one first prize, which is a £50 voucher, one second prize, which is a £25 voucher, and no fewer than four "honorable mentions." All of these excellent reviews will be published on Everybody's Reviewing over the next couple of weeks.
Congratulations to everyone who entered - it was a very strong field!
