Reviews

We want to make it as easy as possible for you choose the books you’ll enjoy and what better way than by hearing the views of other book lovers. That’s why we encourage everybody to share reviews on books they’ve read and help others find their next brilliant read.

So, who can write reviews?
Everybody. You just need to sign in to your Book Seller account and follow a few simple ‘house rules’ .
Our top tips
  • Tell us ‘why’: Instead of only saying what you did and didn’t like, tell us why you felt that way about the book. Using examples and/or comparisons is a great way to do this.
  • Somewhere between a tweet and an essay: The ideal length is 100-200 words but if you have more to say then please do so. However, there is a limit of 1,000 characters.
  • Give suggestions: Suggest similar books that we might want to read if we enjoy the book you’re reviewing. We’ll all really appreciate it!
  • Be honest: It’s important you give your honest opinion, both good and bad. Criticism is welcome, as long as it isn’t offensive (see our ‘house rules’).
  • Full disclosure: If you received a free book in exchange for your review, please clearly disclose that that you received the book free of charge.

Our simple house rules

We love hearing your views and encourage you to write as many reviews as you’d like to but please keep in mind that we reserve the right to remove reviews that include any of the following:

Make sure you remember the books you’re considering by saving them to your wishlist. This is easily done by clicking ‘Add to wishlist’, which is found below the ‘Add to basket’ button on each product page.

To view your wishlist, go to ‘Book Shopper’ and click the Wishlist option. Here you can keep track of all the items you saved and the items you’ve bought that you previously saved to your wishlist.
