ROFL!!!! what world are you living in??   do you think the reviewers for
any major periodical or newspaper write for free?   Books reviews should be
fair and objective, of course, and that's what I'm asking for from
reviewers.   But no, I don't intend to post terrible reviews.  There are
plenty of great books out there to concentrate on the ones that are worth
recommending.  Each reviewer's name will be attached to their review, so it
wont make sense to give a great review to a bad book, either.
