Have you ever wondered how to evaluate a book or movie?















(Shamelessly borrowed from this post from John C. Wright.  Who does not have to wonder if the book he is reviewing is Awesome or not.)

That IS awesome. I love the periodic table of awesome and, I "will" read this book.

The quoted passages clinched it for me.

Thanks!!

I'd heard of the book and seen it on the Baen.com site forever but... didn't really seem my sort of thing.

The quoted passage pretty much did it for me, too.

Someone at the link mentioned that there are three books and they are *complete*... so no waiting.

Which ought to be on the awesoments table.

This book is the rule of cool come true...

High praise.

As to your question, more specifically... I found it difficult to write Netflix movie reviews. I knew what I wanted to say and I kept missing it, not nailing it, the words just wouldn't come together. I think I wrote one and that was it.

I don't read the Netflix reviews btw. I rely solely on Rotten Tomatoes for those.
