Each Friday in the WSJ's Personal Journal section there is a question to Dear Book Lover (kinda like Dear Abby). Today the
question was about where to go to get multiple reviews of a book. I learned about Bookmarks Magazine and its associated website called
bookmarksmagazine.com. It was hit or miss on a number of books I searched on. It appears that the site covers more recently issued books, such as
The Big Short by Michael Lewis, which I just finished, and
House Rules by Jodi Picoult, which I haven't yet read but will. The site seemed a bit slow but finally produced about a dozen reviews from various newspapers (e.g. Washington Post, New York Times, Boston Globe) for the former and about a half dozen for the latter. Overall it could be a decent site to visit to get some opinions on books you've read or would like to read.
