How to review a book on Amazon (mobile)

Did you know that leaving a rating or review is one of the most valuable things that you can do to support a book you love? It is. Somehow, reviews get the algorithms humming, and spread the word about a book.

Also, you don't have to have purchased a book from Amazon to write a review of it there. (You do have to have spent over $50 on Amazon in the past year to leave a review).

So here's how you do it from your phone.

1. navigate to the book you want to review on Amazon.com. This is the page for LIFESTYLES OF GODS AND MONSTERS (which I can't review, but you can, if you like.)

2. scroll down to the reviews. (this can sometimes be a long scroll!) Click the arrow next to customer reviews.

3. you may have to sign in (I did).

4. This is where you fill in your review. You can write a full review if you like, but even a rating alone has a lot of value. The more ratings a book has, the better. LIFESTYLES has 31, but 50 or 100 would be much better.

Once you're done, you should get this screen. And that's it - that's all you have to do!
