I post my reviews at Amazon to bring awareness to the books I love and to also meet new people with an interest in cooking, psychology, spirituality, etc. 2. Reviewing is a brief summary of a book. It can also tell what is good and what is bad or tell something about the book which caused your life to change. Yes, I try to be fair to the author and to the reader. It would not benefit anyone and why should I bring awareness to such a book.
Most reviews seem very fair.
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.
