Do you read them? If no, why not?


I do, I read all of them unless I really don't care for the person's taste.

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


Only occasionally. Maybe I should chip in more with the "nice review, cheers" replies. I don't have substantive views on the subject, most of the time. Plus I only get here at lunch time.

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


Not for this one, no. Frankly, I don't have a very high opinion of my ability to discern bad from good. OK, I can tell you something is totally useless, but everyone knows that already, surely.

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.


I think people do care, they just don't have anything other than "thanks" to say about 'em.

I don't really see reviews as something to be discussed Wibble - 13/10/2009 01:21:02 AM 1011 Views
