FLASHLIGHT READERS discussion

If you give reasons and explanations, that is more helpful to prospective readers. For example, saying “I hated it the characters were bad” try writing “This book had potential but unfortunately the dialogue was unrealistic and the characters had no real flaws. The MC Mary seemed to be good at everything, meaning she was hard to relate to, and her speech was so flat it made me want to fall asleep.”

See the difference?

I always like to decide if I'm going to do a full review (not just two lines of text lol) before I read a book because it's easier to know what to look for if you're reading from a review perspective, in my opinion.

I never knew that you could do bold blockquotes Adela! I usually structure my reviews too. I start off with a quote if I really enjoyed it, then the summary in my words, and my thoughts, characters, a paragraph about the writing and worldbuilding techniques, and my last thoughts.
