My personal restriction on doing book reviews…

Monday I posted on the New Authors Fellowship a personal testimony about why I rarely do book reviews. Opinions on how to do book reviews are all over the place. I don’t know what side of the fence you fall on, but this is my personal decision on the matter.

Some of what I said incited a little bit of controversy. What’s your opinion?

“I love reading. I love a good story. I love it so much that I’ve become quite a snob about certain things. I used to try to do a review on every book I read. But one particular review and the following snubbing that came afterward, has just about made me want to give up on doing it at all.” CLICK TO READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE
