Mini Review: The Slippery Art of Book Reviewing

I mentioned before that I had purchased The Slippery Art of Book Reviewing by Mayra Calvani and Anne K. Edwards, but now I’ve actually read it. It’s a great book if you want to be a book reviewer, and even if you don’t. Don’t read it straight through though. This isn’t a simple how-to book. This is a text of everything you ever wanted to know about book reviewing. It is meant to be read and reread sections at a time and to have on hand to turn to when trying to write a review. I bought it in ebook form and it was well worth the money.

Not Yet Ready to Review

I’ve tried my hand at a few tentative reviews, but I’m not yet ready. If I’m going to post reviews, I want them to be good. With that in mind, I’ve purchased The Slippery Art of Book Reviewing, in ebook format of course. Once I’ve read it, I’ll be ready to post a review of 1901 by Robert Conroy, which I just finished. In the meantime, I have a guest reviewer lined up. Happy Reading!
