My Life As A Book Reviewer

The problem is, after reading this I feel like I’ve written one of those movie reviews that show up on commercials for really awful movies. You know the ones, always from a publication you’ve never heard of.

I posted a review of a camera book on Gearlog.com, one of the PCMag blogs I write for. I liked the book–thought it was quite valuable.

Tonight I stumbled across the book’s website and found an excerpt of my review!

“Media reviews

“…easy to follow explanations without being condescending. As I thumbed through…all I could think was that’s exactly the advice I’d give!…This is how you should spend the money you’re no longer spending on film. ”

I really did like the book, but all of a sudden I feel unclean.
