Book Review site(s)?

Malakie Torsade · 01-03-2007, 07:46 AM

I'd like to find a site which lists reviews of a good variety of books, both fiction and non, though I'd prefer a stronger focus on the latter. I've been using the Reader Reviews on amazon.com, which work well enough, but would like something a bit more... specific?

If it helps, I'm mostly interested in reviews of Computer, Personal Finance, and Biographical books.

I use LibraryThing social networking/book lists. Probably more helpful just by finding things other people have in their library if yours is similar, rather than just a pure review site.

metacritic has something sort of like Rotten Tomatoes for books. Unfortunately, you're only going to find review on things probably 2-3 years old or so. Good if you're looking for reviews on new releases.

Bibliophil is similar to what cyanbane posted.

Ill be shameful and give my site a plug. Fantasy, Sci fi, Mystery mostly but we are trying to do Horror and Comic books as well. Got a little forum as well.
