Please, leave reviews!

PLEASE
If not, why not?
I don’t have time
The author probably spent a heck of a lot more time writing the story than you took to read it, no matter how slow you think you are, so why not take a few minutes to record your feelings about it.
I can’t write long fancy reviews like those I see on book review blogs
You don’t have to, Amazon, for example, only ask you to use a minimum of 25 non repeating words.
I can’t express myself very well
No-one is asking you to produce a literary masterpiece, start off with things you liked, didn’t like or a mix of both about the book, e.g.,
I liked this book because –
it reminded me of –
it made me think about –
it made me so scared I couldn’t sleep for –
it made me feel homesick for –

Call me Satan but I only leave reviews for you, some other people obviously but a close circle. Did you made a review of my great poetry book? hummmm……. 😉 Kidding, I do it because of the person, not even monetary type of mentality so I should be a humanitarian then

I love that! It won’t cost them more than the price of a book, yet their review can actually be so much more valuable!

I do understand this…I find it so hard to ask anyone else to leave a review on my books.
Even my family and friends who have bought my book have not realized that reviews really help. But then I have bought around thirty books written by WordPress bloggers and not left a review. I feel nervous about what to write. If I relate my favourite part…am I giving away spoilers? But I don’t want to leave generic comments that look as if I haven’t read the book at all.

Simple reviews are as effective as the big long ones!
I write both, depending on the book, and how it makes me feel!
