Welcome to Reading Review

What is Reading Review?

Reading Review is a collection of books that I have selected to review, or been asked to review by authors or publishers. With over 750 book reviews and many different genres to choose from, you should be able to find one book that really interests you . . . or two . . . or three . . .

 
Genres

The reviews on Reading Reading mostly consist of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Young Adults books, with a little bit of Westerns, Horror, Mystery, Non-Fiction, Thriller, Early Chapter Books, and Comics (Graphic Novels and Manga) thrown in to stir it up a little. Young Adult and Comics are the fasting growing categories, at this moment, as I review books for Random House and Del Rey Manga. I also used review books for Wizards of the Coast, which is where most of my Fantasy Reviews come from.

Please feel free to browse. Hopefully you will find a book you would like to read. The books are organized by author's last name. The author's name is color-coded to coincide with the genre of the books listed.

When you mouse over a genre, you can either go the main page for that genre or pick a page in that genre for all authors whose last name starts with that letter. For example, if you want R. A. Salvatore in Fantasy, mouse over Fantasy and click on "S" for Salvatore.

The following is the list of genres on Reading Review:

Comics

Early Chapter

Fantasy

Fiction

Horror

Mystery

Non-Fiction

Rating System
A long time ago in a place far, far away, I started recording the date when I finished a book and rating that book on a scale of 1 to 10. Somewhere along the line, I started adding in ½ on some of the books because I found only ten numbers to be too limiting.

At the bottom of every review is my opinion on what I think the book should be rated. Please note that this only my opinion and should be taken with a grain of sand. The rating system is as follows:

1 = Horrendous
2 = Awful
3 = Pretty Darn Bad
4 = Substandard
5 = Readable
6 = Not Bad
7 = Good 
8 = Great
9 = Excellent
10 = Stupendous
N/A = Not Applicable
 

Publishers & Authors

If you are looking for someone to review some books, please feel free to contact me via email by clicking the Contact Us button at the top of the page. Send me an email about the book you would like to have reviewed. I will usually respond the same day.

Series
A series is a collection of books written about the same characters or world. There can be two types of series: one written by the same author or one written by a multiple of authors. Since the one written by the same author will all be listed in the same place, the series I am listing here are ones that are written by different authors.

The following collections are series written by different authors pertaining to a specific theme:

 
Audio Books

Should the review be for an audio book, the symbol in the upper-right corner will follow the name of the audio book.

Both CD and Cassette have been reviewed, but not many of them.
