Maybe we ought to take some time ...

... to think about this: The First Thing We Do, Let’s Kill All the Book Reviewers. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

Lynne actually makes some good points. I've been asked to write something about this for another blog - and I'm still thinking about it.

    Lynne seems to be writing mainly about reviewers who don't actually read the books they review. I agree with her that isn't useful. However, reviewers who do read the books are (can be) useful, I think, as I mentioned in her comments.

    I just posted a comment to about the same effect, Maxine. It irks me deeply that there are people (invariably publishers and authors) who think most reviewers don't read the books they're reviewing. I don't know *any* reviewer who would do that.
