Goodreads Authors/Readers discussion

Hi everyone, for the first time I'm going to be writing a book review for an ARC copy of a novel. I've seen many people introduce a review such as this with 'I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review'. In your experience, is this the standard way to introduce this kind of review, or would it be appropriate to just write a review the way I would any other book review?

Thanks in advance for any feedback. Jessica Kuzmier

Full disclosure is best.
I simply write at the end.

This reviewer received a complimentary copy of this book.

This actually is required in TOS that Goodreads.com authors who review each other's work must make this disclosure.

Thanks Michael!

It's a way to ensure Amazon don't delete your review if they think you may have received some sort of compensation, either monetary or the book in exchange for a 5* review. The Honest Review is important.
