As the New York Times wrote about us:
"Allreaders.com allows you to search for books and movies by hundreds of
different elements of plot, theme, setting, and character. For example,
you could search for a science fiction novel featuring a cynical,
wisecracking main character--50% action and 10% romance, with spaceship
battles, the theme of revenge, and a story involving clones and mind
control--and the engine would find books that were the closest match."
Famous Authors and Editors Praise Us!--Anne McCaffrey "Sounds like a useful service for my readers!" --Orson Scott Card "Allreaders book search engines perform very useful functions for science fiction fans who spend time on the net." --Mike Resnick "I think your web site is terrific! It provides a search regime that will be extremely valuable to writers, fans, teachers, librarians and anyone who is trying to track down a well-remembered story." --Ben Bova "I think readers will find it a good resource for a lot of authors and recommendations." ----Robin Hobb ""Allreaders.com is the kind of unique, innovative resource that makes the web such an exciting, ever-surprising tool." ----Moshe Feder, Tor Books ""Allreaders.com offers an innovative and valuable new way to search for books. It's like no other search engine out there" ----Don Hochstein, Random House. 'Drowning Ruth' Is in the Stream by M.J. Rose, Wired Online
"Other search engines only help if you are searching for a
broad category -- such as mystery -- or already know the
name of the book," said AllReaders's creator Steven
Gordon.
Within AllReaders.com are four basic search engines: sci-fi,
romance, mystery/thriller and literature. Within each of
those there are different levels of questions allowing users
to get closer and closer to exactly the type of book they
want to read. More than 2,000 criteria are categorized.
When a title comes up, so will a list of the top 10 books
with those specific matching characteristics.
"Many people aren't that experimental when it comes to
fiction," Gordon said. "We like to read within our favorite
themes, types of characters and plots." So if you crave a literary novel that takes place in Rome in
the 1950's with a sensitive male character who is
interested in art, and with the theme of unrequited love,
you can find it on Allreaders.com - as long as such a book
has been written and has been logged in.
Gordon invites readers, authors and publishers to enter
books and reviews in a process that takes about 10
minutes.
"Not only is there no competition toAllreaders.com," Gordon
said, "but our Gordonator Precision Search Engine has a
patent pending."
