So. I find myself reading a Looootttt lately. I read a lot of reviews. I think a lot of reviews suuuuck. So here is me, trying my hand at reviewing books. Well, not simply trying my hand. I'm doing it. I'm just going to attempt to inflict it on others.

A good review does not spout out the outline, plot, and conclusion of a book. A book review should make us want to either read that book, or avoid it like the plague. I've noticed that a great many people have incredibly low standards for good authors. I tend to demand that my authors 1) use English proplerly, 2) have a basic understanding of what a book constitutes, 3) actually interest me.

I've found that I read a whole lot of fantasy. A looot of fantasy. I'm going to be changing this to a degree, and actually read "think-y" books from time to time. One must attempt to be well-rounded, musn't one?

So here is me, diving in. Love me, hate me. Whatever. Let me know what you think, if you disagree, if you agree. Just do it. I can hardly do worse than others, can I?

Don't answer that. :P
