Book Review Guidelines
Book reviews are subjective. While we encourage reviewers to be polite in their reviews, we cannot guarantee that our reviewers will like every book they review for us. As a service to readers, we encourage our reviewers to be honest. We do not endorse any of the reviews contained on our site. They are the opinions of those who took the time to read the books and share their thoughts with us.
Please note: As a rule, the owners of WWR do not review for close friends or members of WWR. However, as readers, we have posted a few reviews. These, again, are the personal opinions of Terescia and Heather and are not specifically endorsed as the opinions of WWR.
"The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls."
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815 - 1902), 1890

What should you include in a review?
Here are some basic tips on what should be included in a review you plan to submit to WWR:
- Title
- Author
- Publisher
- ISBN (found on the back cover near the UPC code)
- Publication Date
- Overall Readability Rating
- Sensuality/Sexuality Rating
- Brief Synopsis of Story — (Synopsis should include, but is not limited to, describing the hero and heroine, giving a VERY brief idea of what the book is like by including the setting, giving a sense of time or genre, etc. PLEASE try not to give any of the plot surprises away.)
- Reviews can be favorable or not, but they must contain firm reasons to support either opinion.
- Please note, WWR requests that you not quote directly from the book's text or back cover blurb in your review.
