It is hard to write negative reviews. I always try to find something encouraging for the author when it's necessary to give a low rating.LivreAmour217 wrote:My favorite part of book reviewing is getting the opportunity to share enjoyable books with others. In my everday life, I don't often get to discuss books, and reviewing allows me to do just that. My least favorite part is having to write negative reviews for those not-so-great books. I believe that honesty is the best policy, but I still feel bad for the author when I have to give a book a low rating.

I definitely have to agree with you. Getting free books to read is amazing! However, my least favourite part of writing a review is when I don't like the book, yet I can't point out the flaws, or I like the book, but I can't seem to find out the great parts of the book. I'm just stuck there, rereading the book but still unable to succeed in coming up with a review for the book. However, I still find writing reviews quite fun!ALynnPowers wrote:I like getting free books out of it.

What I do not enjoy is retelling of the plot. It is always allready given on the cover so I only have to tell it in my own words. So it is often boring...

Best part, reading the books before a lot of people get to! I think it's fun knowing people may value my opinion and may choose to read or not read the book based on what I say.

Haha, I somewhat agree with you. I feel like when a book gets a strong emotion out of me, either bad or good, then that makes for better writing. Other times, when a book is unoriginal or just average then I'm not left with much to discuss.P_hernandez wrote:My favorite part of writing the reviews is voicing my frustrations. I write a much better review when the book is horrible than I do if I've really liked it.
