Saves time — verified purchase reviews would make it even better

I’ve been using BookReverb to get early reviews for my book, and overall the platform is helpful and easy to use. It definitely saves time compared to chasing individual readers, sending PDFs manually, and following up — everything is more streamlined in one place.

However, I think it could improve by attracting more genuine readers who actually engage with the content. Verified purchase reviews or more active readers would make the system stronger and more reliable for authors.

Overall, it’s a useful tool, especially for saving time and simplifying the process, but there is still room for improvement.

So far, so good!

So far, so good! I've been worried about my reviews ever since KDP started going crazy with removing reviews, banning books, etc. I haven't had an issue with Book Reverb yet, which means they're doing something right.

So far I'm happy with Book Reverb

So far I'm happy with Book Reverb. Getting reviews as an indie author is a slow process. This service has helped me get honest reviews from real readers. I would recommend this to other indie authors.

Poor Quality Reviews from Readers Who Didn't Read

THANKFULLY I tried this service after I already had a fair amount of proper reviews, including a few editorial ones, because the quality of these reviews, with perhaps one or two exceptions, was extremely poor. I think only one of the readers actually even read the book, and some of the reviews were either one sentence or they CLEARLY just commented on what they THOUGHT the book was about but not the actual material, so it absolutely wold mislead a reader. I can see why people would worry that their KDP accounts might get pulled from this service. Sure, these readers are under no obligation to leave a review, but I am unconvinced they are actual readers. At least, most of mine weren't. I actually turned off my campaign while I still had a balance in my account because the quality was so poor, I did not want to risk any more of that stuff on my feed. I can not in good faith recommend this to anyone serious about their work.
