Post; Welcome to the Book and Movie Review Forum


In the last few months, we have had a couple of requests for a forum dedicated to books. We mods are proud to make that request a reality. Here in the book review forum, you can post a review on any good (or bad) books that you've read and talk about it with other members on the forum. Please read the following rules

Rules for the book review forum

1. Only review books you have read.

2. Please write the title in the subject. If you want to add anything else,
that is up to you.

3. Ensure your post has the title and Author’s full name.

4. Be detailed in your review. 2 or 3 sentences cannot fully describe a
book

5. Be creative. Use any means necessary to make your review
interesting. That's an order!!

With time, I hope the book review forum will hold an extensive collection of book reviews. Then people can just look around for a book on a given subject rather than ask. I've posted a few reviews to get things started. If you have any questions, just ask.

Great work Doody!

I can also add that you're allowed to add your own comments to the book reviews if you have read the books yourself..

If you have any suggestions or comment to this new forum, then feel free to PM them to me or Doody.

use the following in the subject when requesting an opinion or book review

"Requested: Red Storm Rising"

It probably doesn't hurt to have the author in there if you can fit it.
