Private feedback — your answers to the guided questions. Only the author (and moderators, if a report is made) can read it.
Platform reviews — The Reader Table doesn't publish its own ratings or reviews of books.
External reviews — reviews you post yourself on Amazon, Goodreads or elsewhere. If the author asked for one, you'll paste the link. What you write is entirely your opinion.
Writing useful private feedback
Answer every required question with at least a few sentences: what worked, what confused you, suggestions.
Give at least one specific example from the text.
Be honest about how much you read. Stopping early is fine — use "Stop" and say why.
External review rules
Follow each platform's own rules. Amazon restricts reviews connected to free or incentivised copies; Goodreads asks you to disclose a free copy.
Reading copies for download are only offered when the author chose Goodreads. For Amazon, get the book through Amazon (purchase or Kindle Unlimited).
Never accept or offer payment, credits or favours for a review.
