Hi Brian, we don't have reviews at this stage; we have purely positive recommendations. And we push readers toward a very specific format for why the book resonated with them (Gestalt psychology so you see it through their eyes).

Given the nightmare that is Goodread's unmoderated review sludge, I wanted to focus on the positivity and why someone loved a book, so we are uniquely focused on highlighting only books that readers love.

In 2025 I will be adding "reviews" of any books using our Book DNA review format (which tries to narrow in on why someone liked/disliked a book so we can match you with people who share your Book DNA). A big part of my mission is to focus only on books that people love and positivity.
