Amazon offers the opportunity to write book reviews that they will post on their web site. Even if you are not on the Internet, this is a good way to get your or your children's opinions published. If you will write them, I will submit them for you. The benefit is twofold: 1- You can motivate yourself or your children to read books that you would like to read with the incentive to publish the review for the wwworld to read. 2- You can give your ideas and feelings (good or bad) about these books you read.

The rules for submitting a review are minimal. Be sure it is a book review, not a book report. Review the book and not the author. Be concise and keep it under 2000 words.

I often check the book reviews and prices at Amazon even if I intend to purchase it somewhere else or check it out of the library. So, if you do have access to the Internet, remember this valuable tool that can help you pre-shop before you buy. If you take the initiative to write book reviews for Amazon, then you can return the favor they provide to your family.
