Favorite part of writing a review?

My favourite part if writing a review is reading the book. Experiencing a new world is wonderful and I love that each book is different (obviously). However, I my least favourite part is the fear that I have that I won't do the book justice. But, I have faith that my writing and my love of books will carry me through

My favorite part of writing the reviews is voicing my frustrations. I write a much better review when the book is horrible than I do if I've really liked it.

In my everday life, I don't often get to discuss books, and reviewing allows me to do just that. My least favorite part is having to write negative reviews for those not-so-great books. I believe that honesty is the best policy, but I still feel bad for the author when I have to give a book a low rating.

It is hard to write negative reviews. I always try to find something encouraging for the author when it's necessary to give a low rating.

I definitely have to agree with you. Getting free books to read is amazing! However, my least favourite part of writing a review is when I don't like the book, yet I can't point out the flaws, or I like the book, but I can't seem to find out the great parts of the book. I'm just stuck there, rereading the book but still unable to succeed in coming up with a review for the book. However, I still find writing reviews quite fun!

My favourite part is the conclusion, especially if it is something like this: 'the book is total rubbish'. I know it is cruel, but if the book is written only for commercial purposes and is really rubbish I kind of enjoy confessing it. I also enjoy writing introductions.

What I do not enjoy is retelling of the plot. It is always allready given on the cover so I only have to tell it in my own words. So it is often boring...

When I write a review, I love explaining the plot and what you can expect from the book. What I don't like is having to critically evaluate even the most beautiful books

Least favorite part is definitely writing the things I disliked about the book. I try to be constructive in order to help the author, but sometimes if I really didn't like a book, it's hard to put a positive spin on it and I don't want to be too harsh.

Best part, reading the books before a lot of people get to! I think it's fun knowing people may value my opinion and may choose to read or not read the book based on what I say.

Favorite Part: Pointing out positive aspects of a book's themes, characters, and other parts. I'm new, so I haven't discovered a book yet that I would give a negative review (like a one star book), but I enjoy finding good things about the books I read.

Least Favorite Part: Rating the book on a scale of 4 stars. The system is fine, but I usually take hours to decide on what the rating should be.

Favorite parts: I enjoy picking out the book to review and being able to let others know how much I enjoyed reading it (If it's a good book). If the review can spark an interesting discussion, even better.

Least Favorite: Writing a negative review. Writers put so much work and heart into their books and I feel bad about saying negative things.

Haha, I somewhat agree with you. I feel like when a book gets a strong emotion out of me, either bad or good, then that makes for better writing. Other times, when a book is unoriginal or just average then I'm not left with much to discuss.

I like reading books, and I like expressing my opinion about them that I can communicate to a larger audience of book lovers. So, the writing part is fun- getting into the author's head and translating to others who he or she had in mind when they wrote their book is fun for me. Also, getting free books!

I enjoy writing reviews because I get to help other people finds books they might like. I also like to write them as it gives me a way to express my love of books.

My favorite part of writing a review is sneaking little jokes in so it doesn't seem as dull, and so it stnds out a tad bit more. However, I don't like being required to sum up a book in just a few sentences. A lot of the books I review have plots that are way too complicated to summarize in just two sentences, and when I make the summary brief, I feel as if the people reading won't get the book in trying to explain.
