Why would anyone take the time to write one if it was not what they believed. Now, my review for Andrea Bocelli is just glowing, but if you look down the list you also see many people who do not like him or mock his great talent. To me, these individuals have done some harm because they have made personal attacks on a great person who has overcome so much. That is inexcusable in my book. I do not prefer to do such reviews.
Books are also alive, they are the soul and life force of an author.
Yes, I love them. The reviews have helped me make many decisions. I try to take the good and the bad and then make my own decision. The professional reviews are mostly just content there is not a life force behind them telling how this book affected a life. I find reviewing to be very rewarding.
