Why you should write reviews
Authors and their books need reviews to be discovered. Readers need reviews to find the books they want to read. Without reviews, great works of art will be buried in obscurity. Without reviews, the lions of literature will wither away into oblivion. Reviews are therefore the lifeblood that sustains creative writing, the art form that defines human civilization and the meaning of our very existence. Your review is of paramount importance, be it a one liner or a dissertation, and be its rating of the book good, mediocre, or bad. We welcome and appreciate your opinion.
