Issue Summary

After writing a few reviewa (of cd's, not books) it appears that the rss feed of my site doesn't quite get the content. Don't know weather to consider this a bug, but would be wonderful if this worked better.

Instead of a meaningful excerpt, something like this turns out:

Without actually looking at the code (sorry, I don't have time at the moment), I'd have to guess that this is because I store the review text in a custom table. Looking back, this isn't really logical. Sure, the extra fields can go in the custom table. But the review text should probably be stored in the standard node table.

I'll try and look into this in the near future. It would be a simple enough change, requiring a few minor updates to the bookreview module, and a quick script to convert existing reviews in the database.
