I have made a book review site, and it doesn't seem to be working out well. books.rainbowbliss.net ....Do you have any suggestions to help me? improve the site?
Answer
I don't really see what's wrong with it.
maybe you just need to get a name on the net, so people will know where to look...you have a few sites where you can register, so they'll put your site there.. but I wouldn't know which ones right now..

Can you quote the author when writing a book review?
deeze
When writing book reviews, are you allowed to quote excerpts from the book? Or do you need to ask permission from the author first?
As you can imagine for a book review website it would be extremely time consuming to track down and request permission from every author.
And finally, how do other book review sites handle this issue?
Thank You.
Answer
No, you don't need to ask permission to quote from a book for purposes of the review. You are actually providing, at the very least, the book's title, the author's name, ISBN, and publishing house. If you are reviewing using a "galley" however, publishing houses specifically request that you use a final copy of the book to do so, as galleys and the final version of the book may have differences.
As a P.S. you can write a review without necessarily quoting the author, so for clarification, no, it is not compulsory to quote from a book when writing a review .
