Why do you write reviews / reviews for other books or why not?

I only write reviews when a book I’ve just read is either particularly egregious or worthy of praise.

For example, see my recent comments about The Book of Elsewhere by Keanu Reeves and China Miéville.
Certainly one where I feel the need to warn people off from reading it…

Praise-wise, every now and again I find myself extolling the virtues of the Expanse, a praiseworthy series indeed.

#Fantastic Prompts 12.11. What positive criticism have you been most pleased about?

My latest rejection letter included the following phrases:

I really enjoyed how witty your writing is.

I find it reflects a quintessentially British comedic flair.

Your writing style is smooth and enjoyable, being full of life and personality.

All blunting the pain of rejection.
