Potential readers of the unfinished book can gain an idea of whether they want to read it themselves or not just as with a "regular" book review. The difference I see between the two types of reviews is this: With a review dealing with an unfinished book, the person reading your review already knows that you didn't like the book in some way--a way that prevented you from finishing it. It's like a stripped down book review getting straight to the point: Why I couldn't stand this book--without going through all the other stuff. <br /><br />A while ago, I posted a review for a book that I couldn't finish.<br /><br />I like your layout for this review.blacklinhttp://www.blacklinsreadingroomreviewsandmore.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-82787235688765498482009-04-27T06:20:00.000-04:002009-04-27T06:20:00.000-04:00Sandy: Thanks for your faith in me!

I think sometimes if the plot is really twisted, it can be hard to follow while listening. I like to think I'm pretty good at audios, but if you had trouble, that does it for me.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-83857960181580049342009-04-26T03:56:00.000-04:002009-04-26T03:56:00.000-04:00Dorte: I know a lot of people who have trouble wit...Dorte: I know a lot of people who have trouble with audiobooks. I wonder if you would have an easier time with this book (in print) than I did in audio.<br /><br />Meghan: I think there a ton of good series out there, and no reason to force myself to keep reading.<br /><br />Bermuda/Kathy: Totally agree.<br /><br />Shannansbooks: LOL about the Musketeers. But why waste valuable reading time.<br /><br />Molly: I like to give a book more than one start, but this one was just not going to click with me.<br /><br />GirtlThatReads: Start off with something that doesn't take too much concentration.<br /><br />Cathy: I'm not at all surprised at your opinion or that you've forgotten the detail.<br /><br />Amy: Sometimes the voices are so great, but here's a case of a narrator whom I love being totally mismatched for a book.Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-19831583004490052642009-04-25T16:22:00.000-04:002009-04-25T16:22:00.000-04:00Hah! :-D Yeah that's why I avoid audio books.

Too bad you didn't like it though...I've learned that if a book isn't good by the 3rd chapter you shouldn't waste your time on it.<br />-amyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09864125746751419542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-3127344625636514732009-04-25T13:53:00.000-04:002009-04-25T13:53:00.000-04:00I read the print version a few years ago and was m...I read the print version a few years ago and was monumentally underwhelmed.

If you listen to the beginning three times and still find it confusing, I'm sure my scattered brain would never be able to handle it, even in print!

I can follow your objections, but - like yourself - I wonder whether the experience would be the same in print. <br />I never listen to books, because I have concentration problems, and even in print, it can be difficult for me to decide whether the book is to blame - or my foggy brain :) <br />So no listening to anything but music for me.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.com
