Welcome! ^_^

Hello all... and welcome to the Best Books You Haven't Read. The basic premise of this blog is going to be reviews of books that I've read that I'd bet money (not a LOT of money, but some) that you haven't read or even heard of before. Jewels of literature buried beneath the fandoms of Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and *shudder shudder* Twilight *shudder shudder*.

The reviews are going to be divided into several categories, each out of a score of ten, and then an overall review with the averaged scores of the previous categories. I will do series as a whole, with nods to the individual books, and will do my best not to reveal any major spoilers.

The categories will be:

Story: A general overview of the story, citing originality, ideas, interest, and the overall writing of the piece.

Characters: A general overview of the main characters, citing likability, their position, archetype, and overall depth of characters.

Length: Some stories are good, but too short... some are good, but too drawn out. An overall view of the suitability of the story to it's length.

Availability: Some of these books are sitting pleasantly on bookshelves in stores, but others are harder to find. This is about how the availability is.

Cover: Sometimes, people judge books by their covers... some are inviting, some aren't.

Conclusion: This isn't exactly a spoiler section, but, sadly, there are plenty of books with great stories that end really crappy. This is just an idea of what to look forward to.

High Points: Self explanatory.

Low Points: Again, self explanatory.

Overall Review and Score: Once again... this is pretty self explanatory.

I'm less than 100 pages from finishing the sixth out of seven books in a series I'm reading right now... once I finish it, the Crown of Stars series by Kate Elliott (pseudonym for Alis A. Rasmussen). ^_^
