So far I'm happy with Book Reverb

So far I'm happy with Book Reverb. Getting reviews as an indie author is a slow process. This service has helped me get honest reviews from real readers. I would recommend this to other indie authors.

Poor Quality Reviews from Readers Who Didn't Read

THANKFULLY I tried this service after I already had a fair amount of proper reviews, including a few editorial ones, because the quality of these reviews, with perhaps one or two exceptions, was extremely poor. I think only one of the readers actually even read the book, and some of the reviews were either one sentence or they CLEARLY just commented on what they THOUGHT the book was about but not the actual material, so it absolutely wold mislead a reader. I can see why people would worry that their KDP accounts might get pulled from this service. Sure, these readers are under no obligation to leave a review, but I am unconvinced they are actual readers. At least, most of mine weren't. I actually turned off my campaign while I still had a balance in my account because the quality was so poor, I did not want to risk any more of that stuff on my feed. I can not in good faith recommend this to anyone serious about their work.

Using BookReverb is easy and fast

I recently started using BookReverb to get early reviews for my book, and so far, it’s been a great experience. The site is easy to use, and setting up a campaign didn’t take long at all.
What really stands out is the quality of the readers. They seem truly interested in the topic, which makes the process feel more natural and less like a business transaction than on other platforms.

It’s still early in my campaign, so I’m interested to see how things go over time, but my first impression is very positive. Overall, this seems like a great tool for authors who want to build early momentum in a genuine way.

Disappointed 😞

Disappointed 😞. So far my readers all seem to be female college students (guessing) and one review is from someone who obviously has not read the book. The Shield of Marathon is a seriously researched historical novel and deserves to be read by people who appreciate that.

Quick Turnaround Time & Worth the Investment

I have only been using BookReverb for a little under a week, but the reader response time has been pretty quick, with one review already complete and two readers in process.

If I am able to continue to gain reader reviews at the current pace, I would say it was a very worthwhile investment to grow readers, credibility, and visibility.

BookReverb is my lifesaver

BookReverb is my lifesaver for promoting my books through reviews. It's the best platform that solved my book promotion challenges. I recommend it to every self-publishing author.

BookReverb is by far the best

I've tried 2 other book review sites, for my Amazon books and BookReverb is by far the best. I get reliable reviews and I don't have to read and submit reviews myself. Highly recommended!

I have to say that I am a beginner in the KDP business and I am very pleased with this service. At first, I hesitated with everything. But, in the end, you either PAY with MONEY or TIME. It is your choice :) Stop overthinking, start acting!
