A view re: reviews
I tend to just ignore or quickly dismiss the zing zing reviews, the antirecommendations, the trashings. What use? There's enough in the world to prevent me from reading already.
What I like and find useful is the piece that makes me excited about a book or author or idea or genre. Doesn't have to be all praise; don't misquote me.
What I love is when they make me change my mind. They say "don't dismiss this" in a way that makes me go "OK!"
