I’m kind of at a loss here…I don’t read book reviews—ever.
I do not order for my department, and I simply do not trust the opinions of others,
especially when it comes to books. I’m the type of person who almost never
believes what she’s told—I do my own research. I read book summaries, if it seems interesting
I will give it a try. I read reviews on electronics—and that’s about it.
Now
objectively, it’s not fair when one type of book is heavily reviewed but others
aren’t, and if the person who orders books for libraries relies heavily on
reviews to make their decision—then this can negatively affect a library’s collection.
Sources that do not allow negative content represent everything that is wrong
with society today. Sometimes things suck; you should be allowed to comment on
how much they sucked. By not allowing dissenting or negative content, you limit
honest discussion.
