So
what do you think, are reading book reviews helpful or harmful? Well, I was just
looking to buy this book on Amazon, and then I decided to read a few reviews
regarding it. What a huge mistake!! The first two reviews that I read were
definitely helpful. They told me their likes and dislikes about the book and a
little about the synopsis. But, then I got to the next one...uggghhh!! No
spoiler warning, and then as I’m reading it, there’s paragraphs and paragraphs
about the entire book. Letting spoilers rip like there’s no tomorrow!!! Now I’m
pissed!! That really “spoiled” my reading of it. Who does that? Definitely reading this review was harmful. I will admit
that when I write a review I always write a little about the characters, the
plot, and the romance. But, I never, at least without a warning, post spoilers.
That’s just nasty! Just because you don’t like the book or find it offensive
does not give you the right to ruin it for anyone else. That’s downright MEAN!! So, now I have to decide if I want to buy this book, which is not right
to do to the author who depends on selling her book to interested customers.
Shame on the person who ruins the reader’s experience of discovering a new find
when they post spoilers without a warning. That is not right, and nothing peeves me more than JACKASSES
who don’t care about other readers!!! That just irkes the shit out of me!! Let me know what you think. Do you get
angry too when there is no spoiler warning and reviewers give away the entire
book?? Okay, now that I got that off my chest, I have to figure out if I still
will purchase this book. I probably will. I’m such a sucker for newly discovered
authors...lol!
Just to clarify, I did buy that book today, which is Rewriting Destiny by Shelly Morgan. Be careful as to which reviews you read on Amazon if you intend to buy this book...
