DNF eplanations in reviews
Apr 24, 2021
Would it be possible for DNF explanations to be included in the reviews of books? I'm currently wading through a book that is so astonshingly bad, I'm only finishing it as a selfless public service so that I can give it a 0.25 rating and detailed review to balance the only review it currently has, a 5-star "AWESOME". If DNF explanations were visible, they could add more balanced persective to books for prospective readers, perhaps?

They are included! They just aren't signposted. I was thinking of eventually adding a way to filter down to just DNF reviews and also give them a distinctive marker. If you're not seeing them on the page, then there aren't any on the site for that book! If you think there's a bug with this, let me know.
I second being able to add a rating to a book that was so bad you couldn't even finish it. I think it really skews the ratings to not include that numerical data.
I'm glad this has been brought up. I'm reading a book with almost entirely glowing reviews that I am similarly slogging through so I can write a review.
I would like a way to filter for DNF "reviews"/explanations because I feel like I'm reading an entirely different book than all the reviewers! But maybe all the people who disliked the book DNF'd instead...
I just found your review and I can't stop laughing, it's great! ...the 5-star review is by the author himself by the way 🤦♀️😂
Excellent, thanks.
