Reviews of my Book ‘A Doctor in Galilee’

The following is a list of the reviews of my book which carries the same name as this blog. It is an attempt to collate all published reviews, laudatory or critical. Considering the relative speed of the electronic media and the recent date of my book's publication (July, 2008), most reviews so far have appeared on the Internet and I provide their links below.
