Since I’ve been writing reviews, I always try to improve what I do. My aim when writing said review is to convey my thoughts about the book I’m reviewing as lucidly and, perhaps more importantly, as honestly as possible. Providing a balance between addressing what I think important and rambling for too long is a tenuous act.
Larry, who often provides good fodder for thought on such things, has an interesting
post today about reviewing books that are re-thinkings / re-imaginings / pastiches / homages to earlier works. This is especially timely since I just finished
Peter David’s fine Peter Pan pastiche,
Tigherheart.
Some Bloggy Notes:
Realms of Speculative Fiction is another recently begun group blog that mainly consists of book reviews and bookish thoughts. One of the members of the SFFWorld forums is part of the group.
Another SFFWorld forum member/admin has a good blog – James L’s Speculative Horizons.
