Okay, so I was just trying to write my review of Breaking Dawn, but the words are just not coming out right. Also, I've been having second thoughts about keeping up my habit of doing long reviews. I know many of you enjoy them, but I'm just not sure if I'll be able to keep it up. I enjoy writing them, sure, but it might be easier (for me, and possibly for people on my F-list), if I kept them shorter.

So... poll.[Poll #1234504]

Also, please specify why you chose your answer? Thanks!

I'll read them either way :) Am not going to read your review of Breaking Dawn though - it hasn't even been SHIPPED from Amazon.uk yet :-/

The translation "keep doing book reviews"

long ones are a good discipline, and will serve you well at university. Short ones are also a good discipline - to do what you can in reasonable time, and recognise it doesn't always have to be perfect.

I don't always have time to comment so you might not even realize it, but I really love your reviews. I actually look forward to reading them. :)

About Breaking Dawn...I'm just finishing up Eclipse..I've got about 100 pages left, and I'm so...not thrilled to start BD. Everyone I know keeps saying how full of fail it is and everything. I happened to open the book and just read a page out of it...and what I read was just so...not what I'd expect out of these books that I was like ugh maybe everyones right. :( So sad, did you like it?

I more than liked it--I LOVED it. If your reading tastes are anything like mine, you'll love it too. I don't understand why people hate it so much, I really don't.

And thanks for the compliment on my book reviews. I'm rapidly being swayed back to doing long reviews, so hopefully I'll get coherent enough to write one soonish.

I find the long reviews quite fun and interesting, as well as being detailed; they're always enjoyable and bring out more description and a better picture of the book from you, I think.

I don't care either way; this is YOUR site and you will do as you damn well please.

I say decide what YOU want to do.
