One-word reviews? Here are 20 more
In her recent blog entry, Princess Stomper argues:
A review should explain:
1. What’s it like? (Why should you like it?)
2. Is it good – does it succeed at what it’s trying to do?
3. Why?One word, no matter how apt, cannot communicate that information.
I beg to differ. Witness, and pay tribute at the throne of the One, the Only, the True Word.
