The other sad bit is that I can't even bring myself to throw the shit ones away.<br /><br />River - You know, you've got a bloody good point there. I bet you're not spending a few hours this weekend reviewing a half-baked novel when you could be doing other things.<br /><br />Looki - Damn straight. If you don't tell them their fly's down, more people are just going to see the brown undies of mediocrity.franzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400212989359954521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696126386168661766.post-1030568911888608982012-06-14T18:24:10.803-07:002012-06-14T18:24:10.803-07:00Oh dear.

The hardest part is when I can't actually understand what they are trying to say. <br />I feel rude sending them back covered with red pen, especially since it is not anonymous, but I guess that's the point of the review process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696126386168661766.post-80044136241439735872012-06-14T04:29:08.298-07:002012-06-14T04:29:08.298-07:00This is why I don't do reviews.

I've had a few emails asking if I'd like to review books, but if the book is hopelessly boring or tediously filled with unnecessary details I wouldn't be reading to the very last page, so a proper review would be impossible.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696126386168661766.post-3539747522998422952012-06-13T22:59:13.791-07:002012-06-13T22:59:13.791-07:00Hell, I used to feel like that when reviewing book...Hell, I used to feel like that when reviewing books for free, knowing the only 'payment' was the cruddy book itself. Some did help raise my computer monitor a bit higher up on my desk though and, if recall correctly, you have a fire in your house, so some kindling might come in handy.MedicatedMoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08609190990579743429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696126386168661766.post-64350418994529234542012-06-13T21:58:38.087-07:002012-06-13T21:58:38.087-07:00Still on the first page then?Still on the first page then?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
