Metacritic Books

I, like many readers, am hopelessly addicted to reading book reviews. I've recently discovered a great website that allows you to search hundreds of reviews at a time and uses an easy to understand rating system.

 

Metacritic (http://www.metacritic.com/books) is a free web resource that collects reviews of movies, CDs, video games, and, as of 2004, books. The site is laid out in an easy-to-read style, and even a quick glance can tell you whether critics thought a book was any good. Another helpful feature is that each review is summarized by a one sentence quote, so it's not necessary to read entire reviews. If a review looks interesting, a link to its full text is provided. Metacritic Books is a quick, reliable source for informed opinions on books across genres. Check it out!

I discovered metacritic a couple of years ago and also love the easy format for finding excellent books. This is a great website that everyone should know about! Lately, it seems like DVD's, Movies and Games have more prominence than books, but the book reviews are still there, thankfully. Thanks for telling people about this. . . . . . .
