The One Minute Critic!
Your source for critical discussion, one minute at a time.
I came upon a great sight awhile ago in preparing for a book discussion. It is a blog brought to you by the Fort Vancouver Regional Library District. It is called One Minute Critic. It is a collection of very short book reviews on a wide variety of books. Librarians highlight their collections as well as members of the community who talk about books they've read and enjoyed, sharing their experiences with you. It could be a useful resource in suggesting book discussion titles. In Google, enter one minute followed by the title of the book. For example, to watch a video critique of the book, Truck: a Love Story by Michael Perry, by an interesting librarian, enter the keywords - "one minute truck". Click on the entry and enjoy the show! Try a title you're considering.
If you don't see your title there, check out -
One Minute Book Reviews
One Minute Book Reviews is an independent blog created by its editor-in-chief, Janice Harayda. It consists of brief reviews of new and classic fiction, nonfiction, and poetry for adults and children. The site does not cover literary news, trends or gossip. It is for people who like to read but dislike hype and review inflation.
