I have been following Salon - Books since week one. I was attracted to its clean look in comparison with some of the other choices, and am finding it easy to navigate and informative to use. Instead of a multitude of smaller bits of information, Salon's focus is very in-depth book reviews contributed, mostly, by Laura Miller, senior writer. Her long descriptive and insightful reviews give a clear taste of the books, and are certainly complete enough to provide an excellent basis for Readers Advisory. After reading her reviews each week, I feel I have almost read the book! Recently, some of the choices have been The Unwinding: What's Gone Wrong with America, She Left me the Gun: Her Mother's Shocking Past, Wave: A Family Vacation Turns into the Worst Nightmare, The Woman Upstairs, and The Astor Orphan: Rich Little Poor Girl.
Salon also offers excellent audiobook reviews and does have an archive of former reviews. Though I may not find something new every day, I will continue to follow this resource for in-depth reviews on varying topics.
