Well worth the expense. The reviewers wonderfully captured the essence of the novel as they clearly commented on characters, story lines, dialogue and the myriad of emotions inherent throughout.

Five stars for The Book Commentary. I loved their review of my novel, Into the Eye. More importantly, their reviewer pointed out an area he found a bit awkward, but in an affirmative, constructive way. When a reviewer takes time to try and help, you can trust other comments that point out the book's strong points. That is the mark of a professional.

I have used TBC a few times over the last 5 years to get reviews of my books. They are reasonably priced and offer thorough reviews.

The reason I give them 4 and not 5 stars is that the reviews tend to come in later than promised, even though I pay extra for expedited reviews. I have to email them to get updates.

Service was provided as advertised and I was thrilled at the reviewer who didn't just understand the essence of my book but captured details and insights I wasn't even aware of. The review provided a great synopsis of the book and went on to outline the elements that stood out in the book and why the reviewer loved it.

Submitted two books for my clients and got a great experience. The reviews covered every important element of the books and then some quotable lines for promotion. I’ll be using them.

The Book Commentary gets top marks for its service! The people were wonderful and responsive, and they provided a quick, thorough, and professional review. I highly recommend them and will most certainly use them again!

Overall, it was a great service. Delivered as promised.

I have used The Book Commentary several times now, and I have always been pleased by their thoughtful and in-depth reviews. They are a customer-focused company, honest in their reviews but responsive to authors. Recently, I expressed a concern that their review of my latest book contained some spoilers. They corrected that problem in less than 24 hours. That's customer service at its best. Five stars to The Book Commentary!

Had a great experience with the Book Commentary Team! Review was well crafted and delivered on time. Happy for the three additional reader reviews.

The Book Commentary was an absolute amazing experience for me! They delivered as promised! You won’t regret it. I will be using their services again soon!

They provided the service as described and got the review just in time for my otomotion. Overall, the review felt genuine and honest and I had no doubt my book was read.

Paid for the review of one of my Books "Leading with Compassion and Empathy" I had good value for the money i paid. They delivered on time, great customer service.

I submitted a client’s book for an editorial review. The delivery was on time and I loved the additional reviews. Thank you!

They delivered on their promise and provided a review that convinced me the reader spent time on my book. Will be using them for upcoming projects.

1. I paid for one "verified review" of my book in Amazon and two reader reviews on Goodreads on September 30, 2025 but never received it. Reviews were promised in 4-6 weeks but I received no notification regarding reviews by mid-December so I wrote to the company. "Dee" apologized and sent me a link the next day to a very nice 5-star rating and book review on their company website, but NO REVIEW was ever added to my book's page on Amazon... up to this very day.

2. Between the end of December and now, I reached out to "Dee" by email at least EIGHT times requesting that the "verified Amazon review" I paid for be posted. But she has ignored all my emails.

I am grateful for the nice review of my book on their website and two reader reviews on Goodreads, but they never delivered on the promised Amazon "verified review."

I give them two stars ONLY for the nice review of my book on their own company's website.

Working with The Book Commentary was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Their feedback was thoughtful, precise, and clearly grounded in deep expertise. What stood out most was the balance between honesty and respect — the review wasn’t generic praise, but a careful, intelligent evaluation that demonstrated real engagement with the material.

Communication was professional, timely, and clear throughout the process. Expectations were set upfront and fully met, which made the collaboration smooth and confidence-building. I felt that my work was treated with seriousness and integrity, which is rare and deeply appreciated in the creative and intellectual space.

If you’re an author looking for a reviewer you can genuinely trust — someone who adds value rather than surface-level commentary — I would highly recommend working with them. This was a high-quality, credible service, and I would not hesitate to collaborate again.

Company rectified a situation outside their control without being asked to do so/made good on everything. Honest people.

Paid my $75 for a review in Spring. This is now August and no review. I've reached out to them several times. No answer. Scammers!

On May 15, 2024 I submitted $217.45 via PayPal to The Book Commentary for five customer reviews of my book "Alaska Deadly" to appear on Amazon. Hearing nothing from The Book Commentary, I sent an email on July 12th and got a reply that "Your order is actually in progress." As an author and book reviewer myself, I know it takes from one to three months to complete a review and, wanting to be fair, I waited until December 4th. Then I contacted The Book Commentary, saying if I didn't get a full refund or evidence that the order would be fulfilled, I would contact the Better Business Bureau. The representative "Dee" did not offer any remedy and I filed a BBB complaint on April 29th. The BBB got no response from The Book Commentary so I am now posting reviews of my experience so other writers and authors are not duped.
