#59: I am THROUGH with Media Reviews (at least in the traditional sense)

Why do you read a review of a book or movie? To find out whether or not the particular form of media is worth spending your time and money on. At least, that's how it is for most people.

I, personally, sometimes like to read a review to hear someone agree with what I thought of the book. If I hated said book, it's a form of gloating to read some high-profile reviewer's opinion reflect my own. And the same goes if I liked the book.

Anyone who's been following my blog for the past year and a half knows I love blasting things out of the water if I don't like them. I don't know: maybe we all like doing that. "Hatred loves company".

Well, all I'm saying on this admitedly random blog (I'm really tired) is I'm done reviewing a book or movie just to blast it. From now on, I'm only reviewing things that I like, and communicating why something is worth spending your time and money on.
