What's this thing?

Hi. 

I'm insufferably snooty. People who know me will agree. I correct everyone's grammar. I think I'm better than everyone else. Smarter. Better read. More accomplished. You get the drift.

Which is why I hate it when people talk down to me.

Especially people writing reviews of things. They use big words. Unnecessarily big words. Say unnecessarily obscure things. 

To them, I say- shut up. 

I know what a reviewer means when he says "his suble commentaries on the cultural paradigm interwoven through the text using metaphor and implied meaning breathe a delicate, bittersweet life into an otherwise sordid saga".

 I just don't want to hear that tripe from him. 

I want to know what a book's about. I want to know if you think it's good. Why you think it's good. Just give it to me straight. 

I don't like reviews that scream "Look, I'm smarter than you. That's why you're reading my reviews."

I can't find a blog that's reviewing stuff the way I want it reviewed. So I'm going to do it myself.

I cannot promise that this will be only about books. I may also review movies. Restaurants. Places. 

I promise that I will respect your intelligence. That's all. 

Here goes.
