Comments from a Book Reviewer- Norm Goldman Editor of Bookpleasures.com and sketchandtravel.com

Forrepparttar past several years I have been reviewing books for my own site, Bookpleasures.com, as well as many other sites. I am also a regular contributor torepparttar 128649 Canadian Book Review Annual. As editor of Bookpleasures.com, I would like to make a few comments about book reviewing and what to expect, particularly from Bookpleasures.com.

Today, withrepparttar 128650 advent ofrepparttar 128651 Internet, there has been a proliferation of book reviewers, whom I shall classify asrepparttar 128652 good,repparttar 128653 bad andrepparttar 128654 ugly. Those falling withinrepparttar 128655 last category are ones that you have to be particularly onrepparttar 128656 look out for, as their only interest is to receive complimentary books without bothering to review them, or if they do review them, their reviews are very short and without substance. Onrepparttar 128657 other hand, there are many serious and excellent reviewers, who devote a great deal of their time and energy in reading and writing a review.

Unfortunately forrepparttar 128658 authors, sometimes reviews are not exactly very complimentary. However, it is to be noted that it is notrepparttar 128659 objective of a reviewer to be a salesperson or a public relations representative forrepparttar 128660 author. Ifrepparttar 128661 criticism is constructive, a great deal can be learned fromrepparttar 128662 review, particularly ifrepparttar 128663 reviewer is also an author.

Fromrepparttar 128664 point of view of a reviewer, what I find most annoying is receiving a book without first asking me if I would accept to review it. Bookpleasures receives on average about 20-30 email requests per week. These requests are forwarded to our reviewers, who communicate directly withrepparttar 128665 sender ofrepparttar 128666 email. In all probability, there is a 20%-30% chance that a request to review will be accepted by a reviewer. The reason why a book is not accepted is wide and varied. Many of our reviewers have a backlog that they would like to clear before accepting new assignments, orrepparttar 128667 subject matter is not one that interests any of them.
