This week's question:

How do you go about reviewing 1 or 2 star books or books you didn't enjoy?

Our Answer:

We all pretty much deal with it the same, so to sum it up...

We look at the good and the bad of a book. Even though you may have not enjoyed a book because of the events that happen in it, or the language used, or the characters themselves, you may have liked the author's writing style or voice. So even though a book may have not worked for us, there is a great chance that it will work for another. Sometimes some of us may have saved up a lot of frustration if a book has pissed us off enough so we can get a little rant-ey and sarcastic. The most important thing is to always be respectful of the author.

Sometimes people tend to shy away from writing a bad review, but a lot of times a bad review can sell a book as well.  What didn't work for you might be just what works for someone else.

Now it's your turn!
