EVER BOUGHT A BOOK ON THE STRENGTH OF THE REVIEWS ON THE BACK???

If you are like us (and probably one of the many thousands of book lovers across the globe) and have had the misfortune of spending your hard-earned cash on an apparent "best-seller"; you will probably also have experienced the dull thud as you bang your head against the wall, thinking "Why did I listen to the reviews on the back?!" The truth is: reviews found on books are usually self-promoting, PR stunt-type hype and not necessarily a true reflection of the books' quality at all.

It is our aim to tell the truth about books, but don't for one second assume that that is synonymous with us creating a blog to 'diss' authors' work - to the contrary - our intention is to provide an honest appraisal of each and every book we read. If the book is any good - it'll get a good review. If it's awful and a tragedy to the literary world - then it won't. It's that simple.

NEW Feature available on website!

We've been listening to some of your feedback and we understand that sometimes you just want to have your say on a book, which is fine by us! So, we've added a NEW feature that enables registered users to leave their own comments or feelings about a book - how good of us is that?!?!

As always, if you have a suggestion or a comment to make about The Truth About Books in general, you can always contact us via this blog or via our main website.

All comments are subject to approval prior to being added to the website.
