Pet Peeve: Book Reviews
Imagine being the author of a book. You put a great deal of time, effort, and passion into writing it. You eagerly await the reviews, only to find that people give your book one star instead of five solely because they received a used copy, which is hardly your fault, or because the print quality was poor.
That last criticism is legitimate. But if the reviewer also says that the content is great or well worth it, does the book itself really deserve only one star?
Please, write reviews that help your fellow consumers make informed decisions. Distinguish between the book, the edition, the seller, and the delivery service -- and rate the right thing.
