What's in a review?

Conventional Reading posts a discussion of a review of a review. Follow the link to get the full context. My own view on the subject of reviews is strictly phenomenological: If I can accurately and precisely describe what I have read, my reader will know full well what I feel about what I've read. In other words, the subject of a review is the book-reader relationship.

    I agree wholeheartedly!

    I can also tell after reading repeated reviews by particular reviewers whether they like the same kind of books that I do, which helps in deciphering the review!

    Hi Bonnie,
    Me too -- which ends up saving me some time, I might add.
