When you finish a book are you one to write a review about said book or do you rate it and move on? Do you read reviews before starting a book or just jump right in? Has a review ever made you read or not read a book?
I typically just rate and move on. Occasionally I will write a review, but normally, only if I really enjoyed the book.
I do read reviews occasionally and would like to start reviewing more, but I would like to get better in creating more captivating reviews. I typically only read the reviews after I’ve finished a book, not sure why, but it’s what I do.
Thoughts?
Just rate it and move on. If I want to talk about it more in depth I’ll do it with a friend or maybe find a discussion thread. Most places where reviews are posted are very one sided. I’m less interested in someone reading my thoughts on a book than the opportunity to talk with people about it.
