I want to continue with the subject of reviews by talking about the ones you see on Amazon.com. I see these reviews as very helpful when it comes to purchasing what you want online. There have been plenty of times when I've wanted to buy something on Amazon, but saw that it had horrible reviews. In a sense, we are learning from someone else's mistake when we see these bad reviews. I buy things online (especially books) all the time now because I have this resource I can look to help me decide if I want the product.
These reviews are also a good way for people to communicate with one another, almost like a discussion board. This mostly pertains to books because people can comment on someone’s review. For instance, someone might make a point about the plot of the story being stupid. Then another person might comment explaining why the author might have written it that way. Stuff like that can be helpful to look at so you really get a sense of what you’re buying.
The only downside is that you can read a book that had great reviews and still be disappointed with the results. When that happens you’re wondering what all these reviewers were thinking, but we’re all different. No one can just expect to always get something great just because a lot of people liked it. So reviews can be good and bad, I suppose.
What do you think?
Here's the link to amazon! Take a look at some of the product reviews:
