I do agree that book reviews on bookshare are probably unnecessary, since, as you say, they are available elsewhere. On the other hand, if a person is thinking about downloading a book, and we aren't supposed to put opinions in the synopses--which is o.k.--then maybe a review would be useful. I only wrote mine because the option was there and I felt like it. On the other hand, since many of us write our opinions on the list at the time we submit or upload a validated book, book reviews really aren't necesssary--and I don't think many people write them. If the option were removed, nobody would miss them. Anywone wondering about a book can ask for people's opinions on the list.
