Expert Answer

When writing reviews, it's not just about pointing out the positives; you can offer constructive criticism without resorting to cancel culture. Take a closer look into what could have been improved or explored further. Consider different perspectives to understand why you may disagree or why you enjoyed it. Keep your reviews concise and to the point, focusing on the most significant aspects that readers would find helpful.

Question

I am reviewing a theatre production. What should I include?

Community Answer

Include a brief overview of the plot and characters. Point out any flaws or virtues in the plot, script, and/or performance. Focus a lot on the actors themselves; people who are attending said production want to hear about what they will (or, depending on your review, will not) see.

I have to write a review about packaging design. How can I go about that?

Community Answer

You could weigh practicality against looks and cool features. Answer questions like, does it show clearly what's packaged inside, or does it give good information.

How do I review a poetry book?

Talk about how the poems made you feel, whether they seemed to difficult to decode, the simplicity or complexity of the poems, etc. You could talk about the language used and whether or not it was effective in getting the author's message across. You could also talk about any themes or symbols you noticed.
