Depends who is writing them, really. Camilla Send a noteboard - 13/10/2009 10:33:05 AM
Do you read them? If no, why not?


I have very specific taste in books, and I tend to find people who share my tastes. I find it hard to care about reviews that use other fantasy or sci fi as its only context.

Do you comment on them? If no, why not?


I try to, mostly because I know it is annoying to put a lot of work into something and then get absolutely no response.

Have you written a review for the site? If no, why not?


Yes :P

I love reviews. They're always interesting, they're good for helping me decide what I do or don't want to read, and they introduce me to new authors. So I find it strange that people here don't seem to care that much about them, despite the fine effort put in by many people here.


Maybe we need sexier titles? Like "SEX and the sexiness that sexed them all!" Hmm. I'll look into it.

Is there anything we could do that would make you get more involved?


Mmmno. :P

I don't really see reviews as something to be discussed Wibble - 13/10/2009 01:21:02 AM 1010 Views
