Reading and writing for a review but have a PDF Question

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Reading and writing for a review but have a PDF Question

Post by Storygamer88 »

I signed up to read and review The Immigrant's Lament, which is a poem. The PDF I downloaded though has a collection of poems for The Immigrant's Lament and a few others like 'Watch' and 'Promises'.

I've read the first three poems already, but...

Should I read all the poems and review them all?

Or should I only read and review The Immigrant's Lament, which is the namesake and main poem?

Thanks! And sorry for the issue - I did look over the FAQ and some other documents but couldn't find the answer on this site.

Yes, you should read the entire collection and review it all.

Thanks! Another question I have is what can I review books I've already read? For example, where do I post a review for Harry Potter book 1-3 if I wrote them? Am I allowed to post a review for anything, like Captain Underpants or One Piece?

Am I allowed to copy and paste a review I wrote from another site btw?
Hi all. I like board games, card games, video games, books (especially children's books and mysteries), stories, cartoons, anime, manga, light novels, animation, and other light-hearted, fun things. Feel free to message if you want to chat!

You can post about any book (though they don't count as official reviews, and shouldn't be labeled as such), but please check for existing topics before opening new ones, and post to existing ones when available. So, say you want to review Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you should see if the book already has a thread open (which it no doubt does :lol: ), and add your review to that thread. :tiphat:

Hmm, even if it's not official, will it add to my review count/review score?

And which forum for example would I post a review of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in theory then?

Unofficial reviews won't be added to your score.

It should be on the "Sci-Fi and Fantasy Books' Forum.
