"In my reviews, I feel it's good to make it clear that I'm not proposing the objective truth, but subjective reactions; a review should reflect the immediate experience." - Roger Ebert

'A book review can be a primary source opinion piece.' And basically, that is what a simple book review is. It is an opinion. It is your opinion and can be written down how you like, as long or as short as you like.

You are being paid to write a review, not sell your soul.

Lots of short reviews have more impact on their sales and career, than a few long winded, giving it all away spoiler review, or a review that analyses their writing style in depth.

I want to learn how to write book reviews better because I feel like I'm just slapping random things together on a blank page and not bothering to proofread anything. I want to be a really good book blogger like those people on Instagram.
