How do you write your book reviews, with or without spoilers?
Does it depend on the book?
If you write without spoilers, how do you manage to write a review for the last book in a series?
If you included a spoiler, do you put up a warning first?
Is there a secret to writing a good book review without spoilers?
Let me know your thoughts!
I have only ever written one review with spoilers because I just couldn't see a way around it. My reviews may contain a few spoilers from past books in the series, but nothing worst than the book's description on the back cover. Otherwise, I try to stay spoiler free because I believe that's what most people want. If I include a big spoiler, I will put a warning. But for the little series spoilers, I don't. To make sure I don't spoil the book, I don't often re-cap the story in my review. I use the Goodreads description for that. If I were to spoil inadvertently, it would be while trying to say what happens in the book. lol
ReplyDeleteGreat questions...I always avoid spoilers in my reviews but if I want to discuss a certain scene I always put a warning on it before posting, that lets readers now it will be a scene spoiler, but thats rare for me...:)
