  • Complete Review (stylized complete review) is a literary website founded in March 1999. It is best known for reviews of novels in English translation, in particular drawing attention to otherwise neglected contemporary works from around the world, but there are also reviews of classics, non-fiction, drama and poetry. As of March 2009, on its tenth anniversary, there were a total of 2251 works under review, averaging over 250 new reviews added per year. A blog, Literary Saloon, was added in August 2002. As of its 10th anniversary in 2009, 95 percent of the reviews were written by the site's founder and managing editor, Michael Orthofer (b. 1964, Austria). From the beginning, it was Orthofer's intention to create an institutionalized persona for the site, and he therefore did not sign his name or even have it anywhere easily visible. However, beginning in 2009 Orthofer, recognizing that he was the majority contributor, announced "posts and reviews will now be signed 'M.A.Orthofer', as I might as well lay claim to (and accept blame for) them." On founding the site Orthofer said "I’ve always read a lot and been interested in literature, and I was interested in exploring the possibilities of the Internet. It struck me that while there were a lot of sites ... offering book reviews, practically no one was linking to other reviews of the same book, so that’s what I set out to do." In 2010 Orthofer published a book about the website called The Complete Review: Eleven Years, 2500 Reviews. A Site History, with commentary on diverse and sundry related matters. In 2016, Orthofer published The Complete Review Guide to Contemporary World Fiction., a reader's guide to world literature with an emphasis on fiction published since the 1990s. (en)
  • Die complete review ist eine englischsprachige literarische Website, die seit März 1999 besteht. Sie ist hauptsächlich dafür bekannt, Zitate aus und Hyperlinks zu Buchrezensionen zu aggregieren, ergänzt durch eine eigene Besprechung des jeweiligen Werks. Daneben bietet sie seit August 2002 den Blog Literary Saloon sowie die im Februar 2000 gegründete elektronische Literaturzeitschrift complete review Quarterly, in der seit 2008 jedoch kaum noch neues Material erscheint. Obwohl die Seite privat und von einer Einzelperson betrieben wird, bietet sie inzwischen (Stand: 2012) Rezensionen zu über 2800 Büchern und erhält laut eigenen Angaben mehrere hundert Rezensionsexemplare pro Jahr. Sie wurde 2004 von der New York Times als eine der „besten literarischen Anlaufstellen im Web“ bezeichnet und 2005 von der Zeitschrift Time zu einer der „50 coolsten Websites des Jahres“ gekürt. (de)
