So What Does a Book Review Do?

A book review can make or break a book. It provides potential readers with an overview of what others who've already read the book thought of it.


Every person who writes a book hopes for good reviews. That doesn't always happen. One negative review can make a  potential buyer think twice and make the decision not to "waste" their money.


To date, in less than a month since my book was released, there have only been six reviews so far. In my case, I'm thrilled that they have all been positive. Right now I'm on cloud 9. But that is bound to change. There will be those, I'm sure, who will find something disappointing in the book who will post a negative review. That will hurt. But that's part of life, isn't it?


This link provides an overview of both me and my book: https://www.createspace.com/3507642




If you are interested in my book, it can be purchased at the link shown above, at Amazon.com (also available there in Kindle format), or directly from me. To order from me, send mail to "rjscottiii@aol.com." Payment can be made via PayPal>rjscottiii@aol.com.

RJ Scott is an amazing storyteller. This blend of reality and fiction is exactly what every pet owner needs. You can't go wrong with this book. It completely resonated with me. As a pet owner and as an animal rescue volunteer and advocate, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It should be on the bookshelf of every pet lover and in every library. Bravo and well done to the author!

5.0 out of 5 stars A++++, April 8, 2011

This review is from: Crossing the Rainbow Bridge: Your Pet: When It's Time to Let Go (Volume 1) (Paperback)
This book captivated me from the first page..."authors note" through the very last page. I read it in one sitting...couldn't put it down!

It takes you through all the important events in a couples life...the good, the bad, loving, losing, and well, let's just say I won't spoil the ending for you, but just tell you that it ends the way ALL animal lovers hope for. If you're looking for a book that can show you the good in the bad, and in the end, ultimate happiness, this is the book for you.

Buy it, you won't be sorry :)

If you are dog lover and want a hearfelt book this is the one. Knowing the author and animal lover Robert Scott transforms his work for others to enjoy. The book has many twists and turns and ups and downs, and shows us how our pets will be a part of our lives forever. Best to you Bob!

Wow! I could not put this book down. The joy, the sorrow and the joy....makes you realize what an impact our pets have on our lives. Life goes by so fast and taking time sharing it with someone special (who gives you unconditional love) is priceless. Great Job, well done RJ Scott.

We cannot say enough great things about the touching and heartfelt new novel by tech pioneer and animal advocate Robert Scott. The story is one you won't soon forget, and leaves the reader with a profound and wonderful bittersweet memory. Anyone who has ever had a pet will LOVE this book, and should buy it immediately. Kudos to Mr. Scott for an incredible first novel! Well done!
