It is apparent to me that any author who thinks their work is worthy of an honest assessment would seek out Jennie Griffin to review his/her novel. She is absolutely dedicated to the process, thorough, and precise!
For my novel, The Girl Who Loved Cayo Bradley, Jennie Griffin first mentions the publication date and the genre. She discusses the cover of the book and what drew her interest in at first. She states the book’s premise and why she chose it. Jennie Griffin gives her first impression and what she loves about the story. At the conclusion of her review, she adds her additional analytical and philosophical thoughts concerning the book. As a delightful subheading, Griffin appends “Quotable Quotes” from the text. Need I say more? I’ve had hundreds of reviewers discuss my poetry collections and novels, but never have I experienced the joy of witnessing this degree of mastery in delivering such a valid evaluation.
Supporting Indie authors one thoughtful book review at a time!
