It's Book Blogger Hop time! Hosted by Jen at Crazy-for-Books, the hop runs from Friday - Thursday.
This weeks question is:
How do you handle the writing of a negative review?
Well, I'm always very honest in my reviews... I've definitely disliked books and given out my fair share of negative reviews. BUT, I always make sure to be respectful (authors are humans too!!) and often find some aspect of the book that I did enjoy or can at least appreciate.
write to be understood, speak to be heard, read to grow
My thoughts exactly. Honesty is critical, but respect to author's necessary. Well put!

I agree with your philosophy. If all reviews were positive, how does a reader know which books he or she will want to read?
ReplyDeleteTotally agreeing here as well.

Honesty is always the best policy. Even something you didn't like someone could really love in a book.
