Blue Rectangle Video Book Reviews
The Blue Rectangle book seller/exchange site has created a professionally recorded video reviews of people discussing books that they’ve read. With more than 200 reviews currently available, this is a good place to get ideas on something new to read. The reviews are short, clocking in on under a minute and focused - the interviewees are asked several questions and their answers are clipped together in the video edit.
Unfortunately, there are several downsides to the site. You cannot comment on the reviews, stifling what could be an interesting conversation with the speaker. Additionally, some of the reviews are somewhat bland and lacking in energy. Many of the books discussed are well-known and it could be nice to slip in some more obscure and interesting materials. All that being said, this is a nice and fun site, appealing to a wide audience.
