Leaving reviews takes time and it's often difficult to summarise a response to a book you've just bought or to think in terms of stars. Often it's better to reserve judgement or to respond at length in an essay. However, please consider leaving Amazon reviews for our books if you've read them and they've been of use to you because so often a single bad review can unfairly drag the ratings down. The one-star rating you see below has no accompanying review or comment.
