But you may wish to ask : Why become a reviewer?

There are several reasons for that choice. First, because you love books. If you are also an avid reader, you just can’t miss this chance !

Second, you love writing. This is imperative. If you don’t love writing, forget all about it.

Next, you want to get free copies and add them to your shelf. By all means , go ahead.

Moreover, you can have latest releases. If this sounds exciting to you, then this activity it’s ideal one for you.

If you take to all of above, you just can’t afford to miss opportunity to become a reviewer. Yet, there may be another problem: you doubt your abilities to write a good review. You feel you need some guidance on how to write a critique. There is an easy solution:

Read other people’s reviews.

I’ve done that and it worked! So, you can do it too. I learnt all about reviewing online , all on my own. You only have to be patient and study as many different reviews as possible. Here comes another question:

But where can I find reviews to read?

Practically, everywhere. But if you would like to find some specific sites that display reviews online you can visit my site at http://lianametal.tripod.com and click on Reviews section. There you will find a lot of URLs of sites that I send my work to. Click on each one of them and read reviews. You can read my reviews, and other people’s reviews. Watch style and language . See what comes first and what is next. The more you read , more you learn.

If you visit my site , you will see an e books link on home page. If you click on it, you will find another site dedicated to e books. There you will find my e book titled Writing Basics, which includes a lot of information on reviewing.

To sum up, if I’ve done it, you can do it too! And it’s never too late to learn something new and exciting that will help you change your outlook on life! I am always searching net for something new that will add some spice to my life. After all, I have nothing to lose, only to gain!

What about you?

If you feel like I do, start now. Don’t miss thrill and fun of it!

And Good Luck!

Before I met this paper bashing, uniformed stamping machine at departure terminal in International Airport in Kuala Lumpur I believed that I couldn’t get a job on land because nobody would employ me. But real reason is that it has been a subconscious ploy to remain at sea, to earn a more than sufficient tax free income, to visit strange and wonderful lands, to get absolutely drunk at seemingly frequent intervals and to be paid to see world in style. And now why would anybody want to put a halt to that? And so during my heart rendering searches for a land based career that I have applied myself to with my usual vigor, enthusiasm and energy that I typically give to all projects in my life, some unmentionable companies have upset applecart by offering me positions on land. Certainly looking back these serious offers of employment have placed a spanner in works and have left me stumbling at start line, unsure which way to run.

How dare they actually offer me a job when all I am doing is looking for one and then leaving me lurching in unknown territory trying to work out how to turn down job without actually refusing offer!

But my new found Malaysian Official has put into perspective all that has dictated my past existence for so long. I love sea, I love earning loads of cash, I love adventure and exotic places and I love fresh air of sea and all that surrounds it (more sea). And in actual fact last thing that I want to do is sit behind a desk, day in day out, staring at a screen and dreaming of what life used to be like on high seas.

But that is what I have to do now. I have to find a steady career on land because if I leave it for much longer I will be too old to start a new life. I have to do it now because my first son is about to enter world. And I have to leave sea because my wife hates me being away. I have to leave sea, I have to find a job on land and I have to do it now. Thanks Mr. Malaysian Immigration Officer at Kuala Lumpur International Airport departure terminal, you have made me realize that next time somebody offers me a job on land I am going to have to accept it.

Well, see what happens in next fifteen years anyway!
