Reflections on Review 4: He's Just Not That Into You by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo

I like putting a little quote at the beginning of each review, I feel that it gives a sense of the writing style of the author and keeping in trend with my last three posts I did the same here. I had two
favorite quotes but I couldn’t decide which one I wanted to use, so I used both! He’s Just Not That Into You is different genre to the other books I’ve reviewed so far and I wanted to do that to mix it up a little. It’s a ‘self-help’ sort of book, although I wouldn’t recommend anyone reading the book to take the advice
too literally.

This review was really, really easy to write because there wasn’t a lot of recapping the story (which I personally hate doing). I think
that’s why my reviews are always shorter than the professional ones but I just feel that if you recap the whole story then there isn’t any need for the person reading the review to even bother reading the book. I like summarizing the story a little and then focusing on the main points and giving my own opinion on the
themes.

I did try to be a bit more creative with my writing but I still think that is a work in progress. Another thing I feel that I need to improve is that I need to give a bit more critique. I usually state a lot of good points but don’t really mention too many of the faults.
