Actually, I think you're doing the smart thing. This way your opinion can't be influenced by somebody else's thoughts. I hate it when I read a negative review and get disappointed of the book before I've read a single line of it. It isn't fair toward the author, the book, or yourself :) And yet, we must write the reviews LOL<br /><br />Stop by my <a href="http://vanya-drum.blogspot.com/2012/04/follow-me-friday-is-book-meme-hosted-by.html" rel="nofollow"> Follow Friday </a> post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07160640273010325793noreply@blogger.com
