I am honestly impressed!

What few reviews I've attempted - as opposed to just making a passing comment or two about a book - have always turned out very unsatisfactory to my own mind. I just don't have the knack for it, at all!

You've "got it"! And as a fellow avid reader, I also really appreciate a good review!
