I look at what does and doesn't work, and I try to always point out something successful about the book. Those are some pretty bad comments.pickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01906861942472773405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217717453727314105.post-12373813270240256472012-04-26T09:23:49.699-04:002012-04-26T09:23:49.699-04:00:) I completely agree with you about the fact that...:) I completely agree with you about the fact that you should not sugar-coat a review, however, there is a polite way of saying the points you didn't like in a book, or pointing out the flaws you found.CaroGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11001811509551339637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217717453727314105.post-6054387890121007842012-04-26T08:45:49.617-04:002012-04-26T08:45:49.617-04:00Great post, I also don't see the point in bash...Great post, I also don't see the point in bashing and calling names or even straight-forward insulting, but on the other hand sugar-coating and sucking up make me just as sick. Your manners speak volumes about you, so do the reviews, and I stay clear of people who write reviews like those you mentioned above.Ivanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18243664836278611954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217717453727314105.post-76023027851725179462012-04-15T14:32:24.093-04:002012-04-15T14:32:24.093-04:00That's exactly what I think, the fact that I d...That's exactly what I think, the fact that I don't enjoy or even like a book, shouldn't be a reason to insult it or the author.CaroGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11001811509551339637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217717453727314105.post-36769508660088974992012-04-15T12:35:32.070-04:002012-04-15T12:35:32.070-04:00I think it's important to find good points and...I think it's important to find good points and bad when reviewing any book. Occasionally a book will be absolutely terrible in my opinion, but that is just in my opinion so I feel a duty to explain what didn't suit me and what might suit other people.<br /><br />I went to a panel discussion about this at a convention last year and it was hugely interesting: http://www.noseinabook.co.uk/?p=1221Nose_in_a_bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154323912093068113noreply@blogger.com
