I'm discursive and I want to have a conversation with the writer. I'm not keen on "checklist" ways of reviewing, and as a result, some of my reviews are quite long. I like to focus on the positives and highlight the good points, but if a piece is obviously "sloppy", I won't hesitate to look closely at it. I won't be deliberately negative and NEVER cruel, malicious, abusive or intolerant. These are definite no-nos. I can be a bit of a wimp about this, and I would rather not do a review than focus on a piece's shortcomings. |
Looking at how a story builds to its climax and then to it's end. Good characterisation is important as is the strength of the story idea. I look for the internal logic of the story - that it follows a predictable pattern; not that the outcome is predictable, but that we can see what's happening. While not a grammar/spelling/punctuation fiend, I do look for obvious errors, but not let that have too big a bearing on my rating. I love happy endings, but that never influences my reviews. |
Romance/love, Erotica, Relationships, Philosophy, Psychology, Family - more to come. |
Fashion, Food/cooking, Religious. But almost anything else |

There's nothing I won't review; if you can write it, I'll review it. I will, in fact, review anything, but I'm better at some than others (see my favourite genres). |
