There used to be a great website called Trekkieguy that doesn't seem to exist anymore which had a big compilation of reviews of almost all the TOS books that had been written; since they were all written by the same person, they were also consistent. Are there any other sites like this that compile a large number of Trek book reviews from a single person (as opposed to just those that have come out in the last few years)? One can of course get reviews on Amazon and the like, but you don't really know what those people's tastes are, and there are plenty of reviews of more recent books, but if I pick up at random, say, some numbered TNG or TOS book, it would be great if there were some more uniform system for determining its quality.
Review database?

Well, a set of reviews all by the same person doesn't really reveal quality, just that one person's preferences. It's better to have a range of opinions, surely.
IIRC, I found the link to the preserved version of the site on Wayback Machine for a request (by Smitty) a few weeks ago.
Do I need to hunt it down again?

It's only focuses on new books as they come out, but there is Unreality-sf.com, a website devoted to tie-in novels. They have quite a few TrekLit reviews on, many of them written by the TrekBBS poster, Defcon aka Jens Deffner. I was looking through the site, and they have reviews going back to early 2008.
Well, throwing in a shameless plug here, I hope that's okay.
I started my review site last year, and I review the new novels as they come out as well as past ones as I read them according to, mostly, my whims. I've not NEARLY read all of the novels, but my intent is to (eventually) read most of them. Here's a link: http://treklit.blogspot.com
