I need to expand my reading horizons, so might as well start with books I know others loved!

Or at least they shouldn't be. If you wouldn't steal something or not credit someone in real life you shouldn't do so on a blog. If you wouldn't tear someone down in real life, you shouldn't do it in a review. I try to always be about the book and not the author. A.B.

How can anyone get better and grow if they don't receive some CONSTRUCTIVE criticism.

I recently wrote a negative review of the new Joyce Carol Oates. It was a little daunting to take on the work of a literary giant, but I think my views were legitimate. I was professional and fair. <br /><br />Thanks for your post.<br /><br />http://mwgerard.com/armchair-bea-ethics-non-fiction/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214724225155037304.post-6388413800727086162013-05-31T10:10:13.677-04:002013-05-31T10:10:13.677-04:00I think I'm (turning into or just realising th...I think I'm (turning into or just realising that I am) a geek.
