review 1: I have not actually ready every chapter in this book. It's been more of reading the ones that sounded interesting to me at the time. However I am buying this book because I do want to read the chapters I've skipped. One could read the book straight through -- but that kinda takes all the fun out of it. So I've read the chapters about books I know. I've avoided the chapters about books I haven't read so I don't in-advertently get any spoilers. But I have added a large number of books to my I want/need to read list. I'm also checking out the blog the book is taken from. I've really enjoyed getting someone else's perspective on books I've read. There are titles where I agree wholeheartedly with the writer; titles where I disagree; and titles where I go -- oh hadn'... moret thought about it that way.
review 2: You could definitely just read the original blog posts, (on tor.com) but having them all together is pleasant for skimming and cross-checking with library catalog purposes. I'm not sure if I exactly agree with her on all of her opinions (not the point anyway), but she consistently makes reading sound and feel like the most delightful and meaningful thing ever and for that I support whatever she does. less
