The Reviewer’s Dilemma

Lately I’ve been thinking about how I want to approach these book reviews.

I don’t want to savage anyone’s work; I know how hard it is to write a book—even a bad one. But I’m not the fastest reader, and I’ve committed myself to one hundred reviews. I don’t have the luxury of skipping books that bored or annoyed me. So a couple days ago, I took the plunge and posted my first blatantly negative review.

In hindsight it might not have been such a good idea to start with an enormously popular book.
