The following is the current review policy for my website marktaylorsreviews.com as of 27^th October 2023, this supersedes any previous ones for the website.

Please note I a will note be doing reviews for books that contact me directly at the moment.

• All review opinions are my own, I will only NOT, change things unless they are factually incorrect, a name of a character, for example. 
• I have a Kobo ereader so the best format for me is EPUB. If you supply an a book in a different format, I must be able to convert it EPUB, if for any reason the conversion makes the book unreadable then I will not review it, if this is the case I will inform you as soon as possible. 
• I Publish reviews, on Amazon UK, Goodreads, Kobo, Waterstones, NetGalley, and BookSirens and this website marksbookreviews.com
• IF I don’t finish a book I will not post a review, however I will mark the book a DNF on Goodreads and this website

Star Ratings Used

This website use a 5 star rating system which is based on the following scale.

*****  Loved the book will highly recommend it.

****   Enjoyed the book although their may be some week points like the ending or something in the plot spoiled the book, but they did not distract to much form the book as a whole. Would still recommend it

***     The book was OK, had a few more points that I did not like, the recommendation would be based on genre of the book.

**       Poor book. Had a large number of week points, in the book finishing was a struggle, will only recommend it to people based on genre and trope, of the book.

*         Bad book, has many week points that I stopped reading it, would have difficulty recommending it to someone, but will give a synopsis if asked.

• Just because I have reviewed a your book  before, does not mean I will do it again, though it will be more or likely if I enjoyed the book. 
• I will always state, how I got the book for every review library, brought, or obtained free for a review. 
• All contact should be respectful on both sides, just because I decide not to review your book or posted a review that the writer did not like is solely based on the book itself. 
• Genres I read are as follows, literary fiction, historical fiction, sci fi, fantasy, war, female fiction, saga. This is not an exhaustive list, as I do read a wide range of genres, this is not a conclusive list.
