Subtitle needed in review?

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.

Subtitle needed in review?

With the new guideline of including the title and author's name in reviews, is it required to include the subtitle as well? It would be helpful to include this information in the guidelines.

Subtitles are not needed. The information about the author and the title needs to be in the body of the review, even if you include a subtitle.
Life without a good book is something MrsCatInTheHat cannot imagine.

I think this is a great point to make because others would wonder as well. Considering this information is NOT included in the guidelines as something you must include, that leaves it up to your discretion. Some subtitles are really long, and I can see why reviewers would opt not to include them.
