BOOK: my comments

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@TELLURIAN.NET>]

Over the last few weeks I have received several questions about my
book "reviews".
    1. The comments are of books which I have purchased for my
middle school library (grades 5-8).  You find out why I do not put
reading levels on them by looking at my web page.
    2.  I do not consider these comments as formal book reviews --
they are just short comments as information for other people to
assist them in selecting books.  I do write formal reviews for one
(and maybe two journals shortly.)  The opinions are soley mine and
do not always agree with other people or sources.
    3.  I initally joined LM_NET many years ago for discussions
about books and found little of it so I started commenting on a
really great book periodically when I read it.  I received so many
positive responses that I now comment on all the book I read for
my library.  Hopefully it has helped people or given them reason to
think.
     4.  I read all fiction books before I place them in my library.
This is done so I can help students select books.  It also means
that the books trickle in during the year instead of having a huge
pile of new books in September.
