Showstopping Review of Showstoppers

Thanks Skylar,

I just love it when a critique uses metaphor in such an unexpected way. It's so easy to get caught up in the mechanics of a review, and forget that we're describing a work of art. Literary language is really the least we can do in return, but often it's also what we do the least.

Anyway, my blog thinks you rock, too.

Wendy,

Your blog rocks. Speaking of rock, or at least light rock, and this post -- reminds me of when Mike Jollett at NPR compared the last Coldplay album to chocolate. He said, and I'm paraphrasing: The album's great in the same way chocolate makes for a great dessert, which is to say lots of people will like it, but there's nothing very groundbreaking or special about it. Food metaphors work wonders sometimes.

Keep up the awesome work.
