Rather than tear down other authors, I prefer to encourage readers to try out books that excited me, especially if the book or author is relatively unknown. I may occasionally post a critical review in my blog or something short on goodreads.com if I feel I have something to add to the conversation, but in general I can’t get be bothered doing a full-fledged review if I don’t think the book is worth sharing.
Enjoy!
