Reviews?

So, your book has come out. The publisher has sent it out to be reviewed. Now you wait...and wait...and wait..for one, just one. Hopefully more but one is better than nothing right?

What do you put more stock in? Review site reviews or the ones on Goodreads, Fictionwise, ARE and Amazon? At least with review sites you get verbage with the stars (or whatever they use) but with places like Fictionwise and ARE are only scores. Makes you wonder when there is a low score...why?

Not every review site will post bad reviews. Some only post the good ones. HOWEVER, there are those that post it all. Good, bad and ugly. Are these better sites because of their honesty? Or would you rather not get a review at all if it is going to be a bad one?

I am on the fence. Of course I want reviewers and readers alike to think that my book is the best thing they have ever read...but if they don't I would like constructive crit along with the not so great marks.

Is that too much to ask?
