Sometimes the book reviews I see on blogs leave me a little frustrated if they don’t contain enough opinion. Like the ones that say “review” but only give the Amazon summary from Publisher’s Weekly. Then there are the posts that are so long that you think you might as well just get the book or bookmark the post and treat it as a cliff notes version of it. There’s a couple other things that annoy me and I’m sure I do things that annoy others but here’s what I know:
I am not a scholar so I will not critique pretending to be one. We’ve been trained by our seminaries and under-graduate programs to be more critical thinking than we actually are. But here in the big world of the internet, let’s be careful to who we think we are. So, I’m not a book critic. I’m a guy, offering an opinion that may or may not help you.
I will try to make them brief (or at least not to thick if they are not brief).
I will create context and stereotypes to keep them brief (this will frustrate some). Be warned, I know they may not always be accurate.
I will do my best to be honest.
I will probably change this post several times.
