Abstract

With the increasing popularity of online reviews at social networking sites, online reviews have become a primary information source for the decision before making the purchase. Although several studies have been conducted to study online reviews in the domain of business, there have been no studies done on online reviews of children's books. This study is part of a larger research project which aims to investigate whether sentiments in online reviews on children's books would represent essential factors which are useful for selecting appropriate books for children and whether positive, negative, or neutral attitude would be directly associated with the overall ratings of books. The promising results of the study show that the latent topics extracted from online reviews would achieve better access to children's books by easily identifying points of a book and by gaining insights into people's opinions about the book. The findings of this study also require further validation with an increased number of books and reviews in future studies.
