The cultural ecology of book reviewing
Article Abstract:
Book reviewing is an essential part of the publishing industry. Reviews serve as a guide for readers in their selection of materials. They impart essential information regarding the content of the published work. A reader is given an idea of what to expect from the book, and points worth praising and those that detract from a book's excellence are discussed. Reviews serve to give the reader an honest version of what a book is all about, confirming or debunking claims of excellence advertised by publishers.
