This is not picking on anyone in particular because now I don't even
remember the books where I have seen this. Hooray, fully functional memory!
I hope that as submitters/validators, we can steer clear from the synopsis
that is consistently more like a book review.
For example, I read a short synopsis that basically said 'if you are wanting
some useless fluff, this will be a good book.' One person's useless brain
fluff is another person's enjoyable book, hence why I think there's a better
way to do it. I think that we could use the review section (does that get
used anyway?) for that. Or synopses that have book spoilers.
I know it can be hard not to do this. I write book reviews with my friend
for a blog that we both share and it's really hard to do some good book
griping without spoiling important parts of the book.
This is not a gripe, just a suggestion, and one that I want to follow as
well.
