I have to agree on number 4 re: how reviewing a book can deepen your feelings about it. I can also argue myself out of an opinion while I'm writing a review. <br /><br />I think that overall, ratings and reviews do affect whether I'll pick up a certain book, but usually it's the effect of at least several negative reviews / ratings that'll sway me *not* to read a book. <br /><br />Whereas all it takes is one really positive review from a reviewer I trust and I can order the book within seconds. In those cases it'll be the words they use to describe the book that sway me, not a star rating.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06483030255023873716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-60542455884572543982009-09-21T20:47:14.003-04:002009-09-21T20:47:14.003-04:00I read Shannon's post as well and was quite in...I read Shannon's post as well and was quite interested in it.

I'm able to review to the extent I'm able because of the writing background I already have. So no, reviewing hasn't changed the way I read. Writing has.
