Comment on How to Write a Great Book Review by Moulton Augustus Mayers https://independentbookreview.com/2023/01/16/how-to-write-a-great-book-review/comment-page-1/#comment-5083 Fri, 23 May 2025 23:54:45 +0000 https://independentbookreview.com/?p=40639#comment-5083 The article is very charming and substantive; it addresses the essence of book reviews and shrewdly silences the opposing view. While I largely agree with the article, in that reviews greatly reduce the innate gamble of paying for rubbish; the unjustified emphasis on reviews often leaves many remarkable books untouched.

In addition, gravitation to book reviews predisposes people to only look at, and consider, the familiar; leaving the real and dainty juice to spoil. And yes, burrowing through a pile of seeming trash can be enervating irksome; however, at the same time, it can also save your life.

How many people have gravitated to books with glowing reviews, only to go home that same evening and commit suicide–and this happening with increasing regularity. What people need, in a crisis society like ours, is a trip down the irksome, unfamiliar lane in a frantic search for books that speak to their hearts and teach them how to love themselves and to appreciate and respect others again. And you would hardly find that in the pile of reviews that tell people what they want to hear–and not what they need hear,

What is boldly obvious here is that the lion share of people today are consuming the wrong books and devouring the wrong entertainment, and it has poisoned society and produced a wrong and very false and dangerous civilization.
