Book reviews are a great way for self-publishing authors to gain exposure. After all, how can someone buy your book if he or she doesn’t know it exists? Paired with other elements of your book promotion strategy, requesting reviews is a great way to get people talking about what you’ve written.
When we read good reviews, we definitely like to share them. It gives the author a few (permanent) moments of fame and allows us to let the community know about a great book. Here’s this week’s book review by Midwest Book Review:
Love All Men, Have Lunch with a Few
James B. Hylton
Publisher: Outskirts Press
ISBN: 9781432773830
Retired secret service agent, and ordained minister James Barry Hylton presents Love All Men, Have Lunch with a Few: The Boys of Bunny’s Restaurant: My Father’s Story as a Japanese P.O.W., the true story of a Southern gentleman who joined the U.S. Navy and experienced the greatest test of his character, as well as his ability to survive, in the Pacific Theater of World War II. Captured by the Japanese after Bataan and Corregidor fell, he endured for three and a half years as a prisoner of war. Transported on the notorious “Hell Ships”, he labored as a slave in lead and zinc mines and observed unspeakable cruelties. A spiritual outlook on life was part of what helped him through his horrific trial. Love All Men, Have Lunch with a Few is ultimately an uplifting story of courage and determination. Highly recommended.
