My two cents on this aspect of books and
reviews....In the past I have done a few less than positive book reviews...but I
haven't done that for years. Now, if I don't really like a book, I don't review
it. As one who writes books, and makes a living doing that, I know how the
authors feel when a review is so-so, or mostly good but not enthusiastic. I
feel, and that's just me, that I should try and support my fellow writers as
much as possible...and hope that they'd feel the same about me.
I noticed long ago, that with
fiction in particular, and more specifically with the most popular
fiction...that these writers all have a tight group of fellow writers who always
step up and write glowing reviews for each other...and I admire them for backing
each other up like that; obviously it pays great dividends.
By the way, almost any time I read any kind
of book, no matter what the subject, if I like it, I almost immediately go to www.amazon.com and put in a glowing review. I
then normally copy the review I just wrote, and go and post it at www.BN.com too. It kills me when I see a terrific
book that isn't selling well.
