His grandmother made him realize, all pie in sky tales about his father aren't true. His mother an Anthropologist by profession, drained her knowledge and experience on rural development.

Just attempted to write a book introduction. When book reviews give out too much about a book, as a reader I feel discouraged to pick my copy. You may argue, that I shouldn't be reading the reviews, in that case. (We can take up this argument in the Comments section)
Its when book reviews give away more than required, I hunt for Book Introductions. Not certain, if a concept like this exists.

Book introduction is a nice concept, but they lack the in depth analysis that Book Reviews give.
Books Reviews help readers decide, if the book is of interest or not.
Thanks for sharing your view.
I feel, Book introductions if written well, can aid similar decision making.
Like u rightly put,the onus is on "readers interest". Whether a Review generates it or an Intro, depends on how it is brought out.
Interesting concept..but What if the introduction is good and the book sucks? :D..
Nice concept. To repeat what has already been said by you and other commenters, it depends on how the introduction is written, and sometimes it might turn out that a particular readers flips for the intro but ends up hating the book. But then that happens just as often with reviews, doesn't it? I do not know how prevalent this concept is, but I think it can be developed into something that can if not replace, at least offer a perspective that is different from reviews.
I feel book reviews make the decision easy.
nice idea intro to book
I would opt for book .. go for it :-)
Hi,
I liked your blog. I thought that we could do a few cross blog things.
Would you be interested in reviewing my new book "Love, Peace and Happiness:What more can you want?"
I could do an author interview on yours. I could also post your review on my fanpage referenced below which has more than 10,000 fans giving you a whole new set of visitors.
Let me know if this makes sense for your blog.
