Utne suggests these sites if you want a thoughtful book review to review.
Utne also takes note of the Anonymous Book Review Experiment where the book is cloaked in anonymity, not the book reviewer. That is to say...
A few months ago, the editors of this magazine asked if I would be interested in being part of an experiment in criticism. They were curious what would happen if we inverted the standard “anonymous review” formula—if instead of the reviewer having the cloak of anonymity, we were to keep the book under review anonymous from its critic, and thereby shield it from any and all prejudice—whether positive or negative, whether directed at the author, the publishing house, the blurbers, the cover art, etc.
What happens to the book criticism under these new guidelines? Find out.
