Book reviews are DEAD...now what?
Join our book club and community of readers! https://lifeonbooks.com/bookclub The New York Times recently published an article about the death of the book review, but are book reviews really dying? And if they are, does it really matter? In this video I go over my thoughts on the role book reviews play in our current reading culture, if book reviews are dying or just changing, where traditionally educated critics fit in to the modern landscape for readers, and what they can do to regain some of their influence in the book space. What do you think? Do book reviews from actual critics matter to you? Do you as a reader still read them?
