It let's me know if a hot dog toaster is really worth the 50 bucks or if it only toasts one side of the hot dog. No. Really. It was important info at the time ;)<BR/><BR/>I also will click not helpful if a review sucks wind and will always click helpful if a review is well done. Hey, they took the time to do it, I can take the time to click a button ;)<BR/><BR/>CindyCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1162356617275287272006-10-31T23:50:00.000-05:002006-10-31T23:50:00.000-05:00Really? hmmm I have A Wild Yearning by Penelope W...Really? hmmm I have A Wild Yearning by Penelope Williamson too. cool<BR/><BR/>I have even read it and recall liking it.

At least they try to explain what they didn't like, even if they don't say anything about the plot. That's marginally useful. The positive ones, OTOH, tell me <I>nothing</I>.Rosariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015659149421085931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1162309478246154572006-10-31T10:44:00.000-05:002006-10-31T10:44:00.000-05:00Kristie, I had the same problem.

I try not to give the entire plot away in my posts, so sometimes I end up forgetting to summarise. (Oops!)<BR/><BR/>It's a good point you've raised, and certainly to be adopted.

I'm sure that will be different in a few days once more of November's books start showing up. I was just clicking on the books on my Library Thing (I love that feature) and it takes you right to Amazon. And the main reason I read them is to try and get a jolt as to the story if I forget and some of them just don't give me that jolt :)Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-1162304702255296772006-10-31T09:25:00.000-05:002006-10-31T09:25:00.000-05:00Well I guess everyone has their own style of revie...Well I guess everyone has their own style of reviewing... altho I agree with you, it isn't really helpful. Altho, it does tell if the book was entertaining or not? I never read those reviews anyway, cos you don't know the person and her tastes... that's why I've found blogland :P But yeah, at least, they should mention the characters names and a bit of the plot. You know what's the most annoying tho, is you don't know what they like...<BR/><BR/>so thinking of buying a couple more books?nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.com
