It would really help when I put them in the database if you could send the reviews individually and put them in the following format:
Reviewer's Name
Author Last Name, Author First Name-Title
Review
Q/P Scores
Should it make the list?
So for example:
Rick Orsillo
Conrad, Eustace-Happy funny book
I think book is the worst thing I have ever read. It was neither happy, nor funny. In fact it was a little depressing. I especially disliked the metaphor of the mongoose. Very disturbing.
1Q/2P
List? No
Obviously my review is somewhat lacking, but I think you get the idea. Any questions? Let me know.
Here are the Q/P scores in case you needed them again:
VOYA's Book Review Codes
Quality
5Q
Hard to imagine it being better written.
4Q
Better than most, marred by occasional lapses.
3Q
Readable, without serious defects.
2Q
Better editing or work by the author might have warranted a 3Q.
1Q
Hard to understand how it got published, except in relation to its P rating (and not even then sometimes).
Popularity
5P
Every YA (who reads) was dying to read it yesterday.
4P
Broad general or genre YA appeal.
3P
Will appeal with pushing.
2P
For the YA reader with a special interest in the subject.
1P
No teen will read unless forced to for assignments.
