I never understood review sites like Rotten Tomatoes and the like. Don't sites like Amazon, where you can actually buy the product, already accomplish this? Unless you have actual authors or news critics writing critiques for a book, there isn't much that makes it different from sites where you can buy the product.

Anyway, why no technical literature section? Why isn't there a genre on text books? Novels are fine, but I like learning something when I read.

On Rotten Tomatoes they do have actual news critics writing critiques. That's the whole point of the site. It's an aggregator for critical reviews of movies.

I think that this site is doing something similar.

Might as well just forget about a technical section then.
