I read quite a few ebooks and review the 4-5 star books (IMHO) that I enjoyed, as a means of supporting content that is of higher quality. Hopefully you will get an idea if a particular book would appeal to you also. I read plenty of works that are middle of the road and worse, and unless I feel a strong need to warn other potential readers, I will not take the time to review them. This does not mean my published reviews are skewed, or disingenuous. I don't want to throw more time at lesser content, and I also do not want to discourage new authors still cutting their teeth. If a book interested me, made for a fun time, and got my blood pumping and imagination ignited, props to you! I'll tell a friend or two! A.K.
