Your blogs are very focused, and this review blog is excellent. I just browsed at some of the reviews, detailed and analytical--two in one.
Interestingly, you do have the basics (the three pillars, as I would call) in a book review: Strength, weakness, and recommendation; many forget / or simply don't know the technique.
Wonder why not add a link to Amazon for each book you review, as I do in all my blogs--looks you have a Amazon Associate account.
Best wishes for more analytics and a longer life.

I have just read your Narnia vs Harry Potter review, what a great idea! I loved it (Although I would go for Harry Potter every time) plus I'm liking the mention of Bridge to Terabithia on your comments page... read it as a kid, and it made me cry (in the good, this book is fantastic kind of way). Anyway, enough of my waffling. Keep up the good work!
Oh, and pop by sometime http://englishcountrypumpkin.blogspot.com/
