CoverCake is the latest platform for those who are thinking about buying a book (any book) and they could really use some guidance. This website basically aggregates reviews both from “traditional” media (such as TV and radio) and from all the social sites of the hour. Then, taking all that information into account it can provide users with quite a true appreciation of the titles they are thinking about buying.
Having tried the site (I looked up “I Am Number Four” – yes, insert your gratuitous jokes right here), I can only say that I found it really useful. The insights of writers who have devoted their lives to literary criticism were put in a position where all the words from a younger generation of critics (who are necessarily more tech-savvy) perfectly balanced them out. In the case of “I Am Number Four”, older writers tended to focus on some of its narrative deficiencies, whereas younger writers praised the pace of the book itself. So, to all intents and purposes CoverCake brings the best of two worlds together.
And it does such a thing instantly – CoverCake can be used without the need to sign up for an account beforehand.
In the end, anything that can marry the old with the new this harmonically could be but good. Just look at all the different sources that are indexed by CoverCake – there was no way something like this could fall flat on its face.
