Reader reviews abound on the web these days but it's difficult to know which to trust, especially when there are businesses that will arrange for glowing "reader reviews" to be posted, and other reviews may be written by well meaning family and friends.
First Impressions offers a source of reader reviews that you can trust.
All the reviews linked from this page have been posted by BookBrowse members who received a copy of the book through our monthly "First Impressions" offers. Members indicate which books they are interested in but cannot put in priority requests.
BookBrowse's algorithms decide who gets assigned, and only those who receive a book through the program can post on this page. So while it's conceivable that somebody reviewing the book might be connected to the author, the chances of there being enough people to influence the overall consensus is effectively nonexistent.
