What's This Book About?
One of the problems I have is finding good books by authors that aren't dead. I'm a sci-fi junkie and have read all the classic authors over the years. I'm looking for new blood but would like to get an idea about an ebook before I download it. This would be equal to reading the back cover of a book on the shelf. Does anyone know if there's somewhere on the web that gives this kind of mini-review?

LibraryThing is a site where people share comments about what they read. There are other like that. Try to give it a look.
BTW. Welcome on MR

Goodreads also has reviews that will give an idea of the book; I hate it when reviewers re-hash plots!
