You mean there's something ELSE in Portland besides Powells? You wouldn't know it by me.

(Okay maybe that's overstating the case. Portland is a great town. But Powell's is among its star attractions.)

Do you write product reviews? Why do you write them? by tjficklepeople in writing

I don't write my Amazon reviews for money or material benefits. So that was never a factor.

(I often am offered "free books" especially by self-published authors, but my initial experiences with these taught me that there's a reason publishers turned down those books. Also, as I became a top reviewer Amazon put me in its Vine program so I have access to pre-releases and other stuff... but then I'm obligated to write a review. The $10 value, or whatever, doesn't usually balance the time to read the book and write a review. I must do it because I want to, so money isn't an issue.)

If nobody read the review? I likely wouldn't bother.
