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:
Davy Jones
Carl A Chase
Publisher: Outskirts Press
ISBN: 9781432777951
When the world is dead set against you, it takes quite the drive to overcome those odds. “Davy Jones: Heavyweight Champion of the World” tells the story of the titular man, who came from the ghetto and a world where someone his age is lucky to get past his teenage years without dying a gang related death. From nowhere in Chicago, he enters the boxing ring, and with faith and love for family, he may find his worth as he climbs the ranks. “Davy Jones” is a strongly recommended read for those seeking an inspirational story of against all odds.
