I review the vast majority of things I read, but I hardly get to read anything. The things I don't review are almost always things I couldn't think of a nice thing to say about them, because I don't like leaving wholely negative reviews. I get why this policy is a Bad Thing, but it works for me.

When I actually have the TIME to read, I review. It's the one way an author gets VISIBLE recognition of his or her efforts in this.

I leave one review for the day's reading. I write my reviews in notepad, and I user the <hr> tag within my review to let the author know that I'm going between technical and content portions of the review. When reviewing multiple chapters, I use <i>Chapter #</i> as part of my review to let the author know that there was something specific to that chapter I wanted to comment on. Do I feel it's "too much time" I spend leaving good reviews? No, I don't. Since the author took the time to write the story, the least I can do is spend a little time saying thanks and giving a little detail as to what I liked/didn't like.
