I think that is a good idea, and I was thoroughly
confused by that synopsis. Maybe I'm just tired.

Hi all,

    Would the following synopses make you want to read the book I am
validating?

Short synopsis: When Mr. Armitage apologizes to Mr. Garfield for
plunging him into a hole,  he could not have realized he would be
confessing to other holes not made of muddy water, but of lies.

Long Synopsis:
In an attempt to prevent the Bishop's Arrival, Charles Armitage digs a
hole. Instead of the Bishop, Mr. Garfield falls into it and has his
first encounter with his true love Daphne. When Daphne's boe hears of
Daphne's engagement to Mr. Garfield, he coerces her into marrying him
by threatening the disclosure of a family secret – that there was
incest in the Armitage family. The only person who can stop Daphne
from marrying her current boe and marrying her true love is Mr.
Armitage.

    Do you think bookshare should add a place on the book information
page for the validators comments on the book?  Currently, if a
validator wishes to note something about the book, they must do it in
the long synopsis.  This practice should be revised.  Some notes take
up more than 500 characters (including spaces), taking away from the
long synopsis.  A reader wants to know what a book is a bout.  They do
not want to know about how there is foreign words in the book not
mistakes.  Notes such as these should be placed in a separate area on
the book information page.  Do you agree?

Regards,

Jess
