I see we both like George R.R. Martin’s books. I do not usually post reviews on the books I read, especially if they are bad. Maybe I should, I was tempted to do so on the last one I read (The Curse of Europa) mainly because all those 5 stars on Goodreads were totally misleading.
I particularly like writing bad reviews (see mine for American Gods as an example) as they really polarise my feelings - sharpen what I have to say. It's harder when they are 3 stars like this one.
Laughing! I do appreciate people being honest with their reviews, particularly if those reviews are helpful. But to evaluate a one star book, for instance, would mean showing my irritation with that work. I don’t like to be nasty, even when it is fair. I would be thinking about the author and how my words would impact him (or her). I rather keep silence and simply rate with the star.
