Book Reviews

Hi guys!

Here I'll be posting book reviews of books I've read; basically just stuff about the book and some feedback for the writer.

Most reviews will follow this format:

Note: Each category, except for those in the about the book section, will have a 1 to 10 ranking, 10 being the best.

UPDATE: All of the categories in the content section don't determine anything; they are purely to inform the reader. If you object to a rating OTHER THAN the plot score, please feel free to PM me or post a message on my board.

Feedback:

How the writer could've improved his or her writing

Please do take a look, both readers and writers. I hope that everyone understands this is constructive feedback, not meant as an attack on writers. I understand that certain writers may be in the process of editing, so if you would like me to take another look at your book, please PM me.

I do take reading requests, but it must be completed and I may or may not get the chance to read your book. If I finish your book, it will likely appear in this book. If you have any suggestions on what I should write a review for next, comment near the end of the last chapter. I do not read mature stories.

UPDATE: As I've stated in my recent announcement, I do not take requests anymore, only recommendations. The main difference is that as a recommendation, I can choose when to read the book and read it at my own pace. This is just to make sure I don't burn out!

If you have any questions about my review, please feel free to PM me, but keep in mind that I ignore rude messages and comments. BTW, I do know how to distinguish between playful rude and legitimately rude, so don't worry ;-)

Last but not least, as I've mentioned in my bio, NO SWEARING OR VERBALLY ABUSING OTHER COMMENTERS (IS THAT A WORD?) OR READERS. Swearing may occur in many of the books reviewed.

UPDATE: As I've stated in my recent announcement, the swearing filter has been removed. Go wild with your thoughts!

I suggest that people read this chapter before going on to any other ones, so that they understand what I'm talking about.

Bye, hope to see you later in the book!!!
