the book seemed to be a major "what this would be like if this happened". the book was beautifully written with great detail and much work seemed to have been put into this world.

Book reviews are awesome!

That is why i am making this blog to keep track of my book review endeavors.

I am aiming more for sharing how to get into the reviewing business, to link to other book reviewers and their reviews for books. To share books that i have reviewed and to link to websites that i think would help with these goals.
