We offer you the most discerning and dynamic of reading suggestions. Because we meet every day with book group members to discuss books, we know what to look for in a fantastic book group book. In order to earn a beneficent blurb on our site, a book must meet our two definitive criteria:
A) It's a great read -- compelling, intriguing, unique -- something truly special.
B) It's a book that will encourage a heated, interesting discussion -- complex, challenging, ambiguous, subtle -- open to multiple interpretations.
We have personally read and loved each and every single book that we write about on our site. It's not every book site, nor even every other book reviewer, that can claim the same. Would you be surprised to learn some reviewers don't even read the book? Check out a recent expose from The London Evening Standard.
