Thanks a lot for the shout out btw! =D<br /><br />And yeah, Sean is right, we are all entitled to our opinions but we should be polite and to the point. If you didn't like a book give your reasons, don't resort to insults!

I mean, really, it's the same thing I'd expect if a person did like a book. Don't just tell me yay or nay, point to specifics within the book, elaborate on what you mean, and go from there. I really don't care if it's a DNF of full book review, as long as the person fully explains what put them off, I'm good!<br /><br />And volcanoes are like... hot and stuff ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245364829193831489.post-85311694519998325592013-08-22T11:53:10.198+01:002013-08-22T11:53:10.198+01:00Nikki explained my thoughts on negative reviews pe...Nikki explained my thoughts on negative reviews perfectly! And I really do think they are useful, along with DNF reviews. I'm the kind of person that always tries to finish a book even if I don't like it, but if I really can't, I'd write a DNF review. But I think even giving up a few chapters in is okay if your review is a short paragraph or so giving real reasons for why you didn't like/couldn't finish it (as opposed to just "Omg it was so boring). Great post, thanks! :)Liz.

And I really post them even on ARCs because I got it in exchange for <b>an honest review</b>. It's just sad that that means a DNF. It happens.<br />Thanks for including me in this! :)<br />Looking forward to next post!Ulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347043469153303773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245364829193831489.post-37567408897722768012013-08-22T05:41:10.411+01:002013-08-22T05:41:10.411+01:00The only time that I don't write a review is w...The only time that I don't write a review is when I just cannot finish it for whatever reason. However I find negative reviews easier to write than positive reviews and after speaking to several blogger friends, I know I am not alone.Alexia Boesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084749931224225112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245364829193831489.post-60202710723861876342013-08-22T02:59:46.354+01:002013-08-22T02:59:46.354+01:00Thanks for the post, I always feel on the fence wh...Thanks for the post, I always feel on the fence when I didn't enjoy or just couldn't finish a book.
