EDITORIAL REVIEWS–DO YOU READ THEM?

Thanks for following my blog! Your is really interesting and I will have a shout out to you in a post later today. Good luck from another indie author!
Why, thank you. 🙂
Hi, Sahara,
In answer to your question: No, I don’t read the editorial reviews page. In fact, until recently I didn’t even know it existed. I suspect there are many more like me who don’t know either.
I only tend to read ‘About the Author’ in books I’ve read or on blogs I follow or just visit. I prefer to read reviews posted on people’s blogs, although I sometimes read those posted on Amazon.
I’m the same way. I will read the info about the author in their books, but I do not look at the Author Pages on Amazon. I also like reading reviews on blog posts. It’s made me see that a 3 star isn’t always bad. Very few of them ever give a 5 star. Even when they rave about the book.
I do read editorial reviews and regard them in the same way I would the book description. I’ll look at Five/four star reviews and one/two star reviews and ignore any which don’t give reasons for their opinion.
HI John, Thanks for your feedback. Your comment accidentally got placed in the spam folder. Oops. I agree, I don’t give much credence to lower reviews that don’t give a reason why they earned a 1 to 3 star. I’ve noticed a lot of book bloggers very seldom give 5 stars, and when they do give a 3 star, they don’t tell you what it was about the book that they didn’t like.
As another struggling Indie author, I must admit I don’t read the Editorial Reviews. I never have and don’t see me reading them in the future. Good luck with your sales and spreading the word.
Thanks for your feedback. Sorry for the delay in responding, but I was out of town for a few days.
