Can you read a book without reviews?



Reviews are very important promotional material for authors. Like in a movie, when you read opinions of audience, the book should have reviews.

When you want to pick awesome book between millions of other books, you will look for reviews.

It doesn't matter are these reviews good or bad, something in the book should intricate readers.

"The biggest shit I ever read. " "Find an editor."

"Don't spend your money."

Or:

"This book chills me out." "An adrenaline booster. " " Masterpiece."

The background of review should be various, a personal admiration for authors or support from friends.

If reviews are objective, it talks about a book. 

Now, what happens if the book is without reviews?

This is blank area. New books will be without reviews, but for a short time. As soon as reader is receiving a book, first reviews will jump fast.

If the book is a long time on Amazon, but without reviews, it means few things:

The book is not promoted.

The book is not visible.

The book is too expensive so nobody read it.

The book is not made in professional manner. There is an amateur cover, the book is not edited well and the blurb is not described good.

You might see a book with many ratings, but without reviews. This is usually work of trolls who will negative rate books. 

If you read a book without reviews, leave your review. Fill the blank spot, to give the air to the book. Someone can read your recommendation and take the book. You might help the author to reach more sales. 

Unnoticed book is like a beautiful girl who doesn't get attention. After someone notice her, things will change.

Social media: how to react to negative comments?

The virtual world became a platform where people expose their frustrations. If you post something positive, you will not get reaction. Ignorance is mostly present when you express your happiness. If you post something that irritates people, you will get negative reactions. Many young users use internet to write negative comments, put dislikes and troll others. We are witnesses to young generation who is angry, passive and without a purpose. You Tube opted out dislikes for public.

Besides, if someone leave a negative, rude comment, that gives an ugly example to ot
