Joseph Patrick | 5 comments It does not work the way it was explained. For instance, if you review 6 books you expect to get your books reviewed 6 times. But this is not possible because you cannot force people to review your book.

Also, if someone picks up your book and then decides not to finish it, you lose tokens. If you do not have enough tokens no one will read your book because it gets banned, yet the owner collects money from you every month, even when your book is not reviewed for that month. It is a bit of a scam and can only work if people are willing to review your book as much as you are reviewing their books.

I suggest the Good Reads Christian community devise a similar system where people who review other peoples books should definitely get their book reviewed - and of course no one is charged a monthly fee or lose tokens if a person picks up your book and decides not to continue with it.

James Parker (jameswparker) | 4 comments If someone picks your book and doesn’t finish it or place a review the site will restore the tokens so someone else can get it. You get tokens for reviews you give and use them to place your book for review. The lowest amount of tokens is 1100 and my books are 1200 and 1250. Some books give more tokens

James Parker (jameswparker) | 4 comments It’s like Pubby, where I got several reviews during the trial period, but is not as much money to join. 0nly $10 a month after the trial period

Joseph Patrick | 5 comments My book is 1700 tokens, I only have 1150 left. The tokens were never replaced meaning that I do not have enough tokens for anyone to pick up my book unless I review another book. The reviews for Pubby is a lot worse that's why I did not join after my experience with Christians Unite. Many reviewers say Pubby do not stick to the plan, while others say the administrator is rude.

Joseph Patrick | 5 comments I reviewed 4 books worth 5,000 tokens - but only got 2 reviews for my book in return. Also, you actually lose your tokens over a short period of time if people are not picking up your book. You can understand that the system is terribly flawed!

James Parker (jameswparker) | 4 comments At 1700 a book you should only get 3 reviews
For another review you need another 100- 3x1700=5100
Also was that just the free 10 or did you give it more time

Joseph Patrick | 5 comments Yes, you are right. I should get 3 reviews, but I only got 2!!
The third review was picked up but never completed. Yet my tokens was not returned.
I do not know what you mean by:
"Also was that just the free 10 or did you give it more time."
