My integ...What lovely kind words. Thank you Leigh.<br /><br />My integrity means a lot to me as a reviewer and a person. An honest opinion is all I can offer. I may miss things which others see or vice versa. At times I've even seen things in books which weren't actually there.<br /><br />As a reviewer I strive to give a balanaced opinion of what I see before me. If a book deserves a one or two star review then I am not the person to give that review as I stop reading at around 100 pages if the book has not entertained me. Why waste time reading something you are not enjoying when there's so much good stuff out there?<br /><br />Again, thank you Leigh. It's nice to see there are others who share my point of view.Graham Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15561493204302079903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622029434153478101.post-36893689090425784272012-09-09T03:12:48.069-07:002012-09-09T03:12:48.069-07:00I can confirm from personal experience that Graham...I can confirm from personal experience that Graham Smith's reviews are scrupulously honest. I've been thrilled with the glowing praise he's given some of my books, and while I can't say I've been equally thrilled by some of his criticism of my work, nevertheless I respect him for expressing an honest opinion. More reviewers like Graham Smith would help restore respect for reviewers. As with authors, perhaps readers should be choosy about which reviewers they read.
