About Bookie Monster

Bookie Monster is a "Generic" book reviewing website only in the sense that it covers many literary genres. You may notice over a period of weeks that I may focus on one particular genre--currently this would be fantasy. However, I tend to have broader tastes running from thrillers and crime fiction to young adult and the occasional romance. The purpose of Bookie Monster is to provide easily digestible reviews--filling like a plate of cookies and nutritious as a glass of milk! I won't pontificate on minor matters, instead focusing on what make each book either enjoyable, painful, interesting, boring, complex or cliche. Recommendations Most of the books I review are based on recommendations from friends or Bookie Monster readers. If you would like to make a book suggestion, or would like me to review a book you're marketing--e-mail me via the "Contact me" link in the left sidebar. I reserve the right not to review all suggestions--the main reasons being I've already read/reviewed it It's a manuscript I am pretty certain that I will not enjoy or finish the book. In regards to the last point, please do not be offended--it's better to get no review than a bad review--which brings me to scoring. Scoring As most books are recommendations, the standard score is relatively positive. Giving books numerical scores and ranking has become, to be frank, very difficult. I will now just give a recommendation level--but it is usually pretty obvious from the review itself what my opinion of each book is.
