The Lazy Reviewers Way to Review a Book

Are you spending to much time reviewing books?

So I have read many books over time and when I choose to read a book it is because the title or the book seems to look good. When some look for a good book they my read the books reviews. However I do not do this as it is both time consuming and book reviews often do not offer valuable information to the prospective reader.

Reviewers who review books in my opinion should not be telling the world why they love the book. They should instead be criticising the book and tell the reader what to expect when a book is read. In this world constructive criticism is what makes works of art be it a television show, a magazine or a novel. Often the criticism is as simple as not watching a show or reading a book in the first place.

The other problem with reviews is that they are often the reviewer repeating the same point over and over and over. After all I am confident that you will agree with me that it was easier and fairly beneficial to read me saying “over” once and the second and third time was a was of you time.

Lastly, I do not quite understand it but I would like to see some “negative” reviews as well as the positive reviews for a book. Most people understand that we are not always perfect. To all those Triond writers and anyone else who reads this article I encourage you to write a review from a negative perspective and give balance to the many book reviews out there.
