A MESSAGE FOR WRITERS AND READERS ON THE REASONS BEHIND BOOK REVIEWING

 


I have done an in-depth research on reviewers and have come up with this. I wrote it in poetic form for brevity and clarity.

Someone once said there are no perfect writers and perfect readers.

I agree strongly with those words of wisdom from a great leader.

*

There’s another saying, “One man’s meat is another man’s poison.”

We’re all made up differently and will see things from a different angle.

*

Research has shown there are various types of readers in Literature.

Tacit Readers, Aware Readers, Strategic Readers, and Reflective Readers.

*

When reviewing a writer’s book, tacit readers lack understanding.

They stop reading, give a one-star review, their way of absconding.

*

Aware Readers are good at understanding but not good assessors.

Strategic readers are better, but reflective readers are best reviewers.

*

Reflective readers give the best reviews as they are strategic thinkers.

This poem will help writers understand review ratings from readers.
