I agree, that is why I don't use any reviews which we can't unless it is on the back of the book or dust jacket.

I would also suggest staying away from short synopses that say "see long synopsis." There is no need to state the obvious. It's a waste of character space and helps no one. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Grandma Cindy Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2008 1:02 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: synopses I thought the rules specifically said not to express opinions in synopses. You're right--a review is the place for that, and I've submitted quite a few of them. smile G.Cindy --- Meka <mekawh@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:This is not picking on anyone in particular because now I don't even remember the books where I have seen this. Hooray, fully functional memory! I hope that as submitters/validators, we can steer clear from the synopsis that is consistently more like a book review. For example, I read a short synopsis that basically said 'if you are wanting some useless fluff, this will be a good book.' One person's useless brain fluff is another person's enjoyable book, hence why I think there's a better way to do it. I think that we could use the review section (does that get used anyway?) for that. Or synopses that have book spoilers. I know it can be hard not to do this. I write book reviews with my friend for a blog that we both share and it's really hard to do some good book griping without spoiling important parts of the book. This is not a gripe, just a suggestion, and one that I want to follow as well.
