We\u2019re other things, too\u2014but from the very outset, book reviews, centered around the twin standards of good and great literature, have been part of the Sheep Among Wolves identity.<\/p>\n<p>Comically enough, I don\u2019t personally enjoy reviewing books. I hate making decisions\u2014and the entire SAW grading system is built around decisions. I hate criticizing people\u2014and the whole red-flag system forces me to criticize a wide range of content issues. I don\u2019t like slowing down and making notes while I read. And I don\u2019t like coming up with a synopsis, once the reading\u2019s done.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, I do like books.<\/p>\n<p>And I appreciate other people\u2019s reviews and recommendations from time to time when I\u2019m trying to decide whether I want to read a book, myself. So here\u2019s a few thoughts about book review sites (my own included!)\u2014their pros, their cons, and their ultimate role in a reading diet.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Book Review Sites: The Pros<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5555 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/sawpublishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Spotlight-All-About-Book-Review-Sites-Pinterest-e1675095279881.jpg\" alt=\"Comically enough, I don\u2019t personally enjoy reviewing books.

(Sometimes just in the comments section\u2014but who doesn\u2019t like fangirling in comments?)<\/li>\n<li>Book review sites show you you\u2019re NOT ALONE. (Whether it\u2019s by promoting a book or by legitimatizing red flags.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><strong>Book Review Sites: The Cons<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Book review sites are QUALTIATIVE\u2014my opinion of a good book may not have any similarity to yours.<\/li>\n<li>Book review sites with a large reviewer base sometimes lack CONSISTANCY from review to review.<\/li>\n<li>Book review sites with a single reviewer sometimes struggle to cover more than a narrow SELECTION of books. (That may, or may not, be a con\u2014totally depends on what you\u2019re looking for.)<\/li>\n<li>Book review sites can (I only said CAN!) create a culture of unnecessary CRITICISM.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><strong>Book Review Sites: Their Ultimate Role<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Like all other tools, the ultimate role of book review sites is to help you accomplish a goal. For a Christian reader, that goal is to find worthwhile, God-honouring reading material.<\/p>\n<p>In spite of some limitations, book review sites can be a valuable assistant in reaching this goal.<\/p>\n<p>Not all sites are alike\u2014which is just fine! I value the reader feedback (even when I indignantly disagree with it!) of user review sites such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Goodreads<\/a>. I appreciate the structured, and fairly consistent, approach of team review sites such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commonsensemedia.org\/book-reviews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Common Sense Media<\/a>.(Did you know they review books as well as movies? I only discovered that very recently!) And I appreciate the personal touch and dependability of single blogger review sites such as <a href=\"https:\/\/oldfashionedbooklove.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Old Fashioned Book Love<\/a>\u00a0(where for some reason I always want to read every single book that gets reviewed!)<\/p>\n<h5><strong>What About You?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>How have book review sites impacted your own reading journey? Have you found them generally helpful? Generally unhelpful? Something in between.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d love to hear specifically what review sites you find yourself coming back to again and again!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in a more detailed analysis of the Sheep Among Wolves review system, see our previous post:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sawpublishing.com\/building-a-good-and-great-grade-saw-publishings-review-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5232 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/sawpublishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Building-a-Good-and-Great-Grade-SAW-Publishings-Review-System-366.jpg\" alt=\"After fifteen months, and 30+ reviews, here\u2019s our look at the pros and cons of SAW Publishing\u2019s review system.\" width=\"700\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sawpublishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Building-a-Good-and-Great-Grade-SAW-Publishings-Review-System-366.jpg 700w, https:\/\/sawpublishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Building-a-Good-and-Great-Grade-SAW-Publishings-Review-System-366-300x157.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You might also enjoy:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5515\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sawpublishing.com\/great-joy-book-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5515\" class=\"wp-image-5515 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/sawpublishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Great-Joy-Book-Review-Square-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"When an organ grinder and his monkey appear on the corner of Fifth and Vine, Frances is fascinated.
