I think it's wonderful you take the time to share your opinions and, however, you wish to share them is purely up to you!<BR/>That said, I like the 'first chapters', and for anyone who doesn't want to read as you go can elect to not read those reviews.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work and thank you!<BR/>Lisa <BR/>www.lisanevin.com<BR/>Crazy 'parent' of 4 kittens and one cat!

To wit:<BR/><BR/>1) It's like being amongst friends that enjoy reading and sit down over a cool adult beverage evry once again and discuss the book they're all reading. Its cozy and comfortable and without the "high and mighty" approach of a final review.<BR/><BR/>2) If a book really sucks, you can say so early on without having to read the whole thing (although some books take awhile to get going).<BR/><BR/>3) Its the way your of comfortably discussing a book with your audience, so it makes you more honest with that audience and better able to express your opinion.<BR/><BR/>So, as-you-go reviews are fine if that's your style, your comfort level and it enables effective communication with your readers. Even those who suggested that you do final reviews are, evidentally. reading the ones you're posting. <BR/><BR/>And, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"!texasboybluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462124020273975347noreply@blogger.com
