Opinion Summary
A Hearse is a Hearse...
by wooleyed | Feb 22 '02
Pros: Pages turn like flapjacks at IHOP. Great twists--both of phrase and in plot.
Cons: They're not free.

"Prose and cons" (Reply to this comment)

I was really torn on how to rate this and I'm still not sure if I made the right call. You've really got a wonderfully playful way with words and, I suspect, enough talent to write a really first rate review.

But, in all honesty, this brief post just doesn't quite hit the mark. I'm very much hoping that I can persuade you to revise it, though.

Take a look at some of our top book reviewers to get a feel for the level of detail and polish that's typical of the highest rated book reviews on Epinions. Just off the top of my head, I'd direct you to eplovejoy, snpmurray, nfp, grouch (just for starters).

If you do decide to expand on this review, please do drop me an email (include your member name and/or a link to the review) as I'd really like to have the chance to rerate it.

In any case, I hope you aren't discouraged by these ratings -- it's quite common for even the best writers here to start out with lower ratings -- and I do hope we'll see a lot more of you. :-)

I say "Ditto" to the comment left below.

Welcome! I'd be more interested in knowing who the characters are in the book, a little bit about the plot and so on. This review just doesn't give me enough information or persuade me in making a purchasing decision.

I'd be happy to rerate also if you decide to update.

Don't be discouraged by some low ratings at first. We all got them in the beginning! You have a good writing style (especially love your Pros.) You just need to add a bit more information into your review. Give a little more plot and character description. Give some writing style. I find it easier to write a book review if I break my reviews down into sections. Take a look at some book reviews by Greatpilgrim, arihamilton, wordwalker and snpmurray.

If you update and add more, let me know. Send me an email with the link and I'll be happy to re rate!
