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! Book Giveaway - 5 signed copies to be won!


We loved the self-published title: Jakob Flint by Jonathan J Drake. Not only is it laugh-out-loud funny, but the magic is in the story itself. Yes, it's a bit childish. No, it's not really that complex. But you'd be hard pressed to find a novella that will keep adults amused as much as Jakob Flint does.


The 2nd Edition was recently released and lucky us, we managed to get our hands on 5 signed copies from the author. For your chance to win a signed copy of Jakob Flint, all you have to do is answer a easy question (we don't like to make it too hard for you!)


Enter this FREE Book Giveaway!


You'll have to HURRY though! This giveaway is only open until the 16th July 2010.
