Dear Heather, I think your idea of offering two reviews for the same book is an excellent one. It provides fairness and balance to the reviewing process. During the years I worked as a librarian, I did numerous reviews for LJ and hope I treated each book fairly. But the process would benefit from having more than one reviewer read and comment on the same work. It is unfortunate that LJ cannot review more of the books sent in by publishers. I felt disappointment that my own recent novel was ignored. But obviously the sheer volume makes it impossible to review every quality book submitted.

That's no stuffed duck toy, that's a review copy of some terrible Robin Cook thing (is there any other kind?). And the white dog is the albino ref.
