I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
4,665 words, and I only went over about a third of the book/what I wanted to do. I spent about six hours on this, too, and I took some of that time to explain the different continuities. I'd been meaning to do a post about it, but I just did it in that review.
I'm pretty proud of this one. I don't think it's my best review, but it's the one I reread the most because it's my most analytical and the more I read it, the more I think about continuities and this book and what it all means.
I'm almost 100% sure this is my longest review. There's a slight possibility that I wrote one that was longer and totally forgot, but I doubt it. What about you? What's the longest review you wrote, or remember writing?
How do you feel about it in retrospect? I am proud of this review, but it was exhausting and I can't see myself getting passionate enough to finish this review - a daunting task to go over the whole book and all the themes nested in there - or passionate enough about another book to write a monster like this again.
