Should you bother to post a negative book review? (Jessica Bell, via Elizabeth Craig) This author doesn't, but I do--especially if there's something important to learn from the key weaknesses in the book. My harsh review of Tim Ferriss's The 4-Hour Chef was an example.

thanks for the link!
re: negative reviews: I generally don't bother unless it is a book I really like overall in which just one thing troubles me. I'm about to call an author out on that b/c she keeps doing the same thing and I can't help wondering if it's intentional or if she just doesn't realize she's doing it.
Of course if she doesn't read the reviews this will be a wasted effort, but the same thing might trouble other readers, so ... .
Any time Chacha. I liked that post and I think you're absolutely right.
And I hadn't thought about the fact that if you write a negative review and warn readers *away* from a bad book, you're doing somewhat of a service to humanity, aren't you?
