I have emphasized over and over about substance in your reviews. Some of you have gotten it and are doing wonderfully, others, well, you need to pick it up a bit.
The authors are providing their work to you for FREE. They have slaved over it, lost sleep over it, dropped everything they were doing to write down an idea, etc. PLEASE give them the courtesy of writing a thorough review. I'm not asking for a 5 pages thesis, but I am asking for more than a blip.
A synopsis, if you place it in at all, is a bare minimum. That's what the book blurb is for. You don't go onto Amazon, read the blurb than expect to see the blurb all over again in the reviews. It's a turn off for a potential reader and readers are what the authors are looking for.
I've messaged reviewers before about substance. I'm not asking them to change their feelings about a book one way or another, I'm just asking you to provide more of why you feel the way you do. Be it a one star review or a 5 star review.
If you have any questions, feel free to message me.
