As long as the review gets to the point pretty quickly it keeps my interest. Reviews with unnecessary info tend to pad out the review when all people need to do is write their opinion, after all that is what the site is for.

I must repeat that what I see in the ratings is pretty much not what people are saying here. Have the courage to rate as you really think. Yes, it might be beautifully written but if a review has a thousand words on the history of a building and not enough on what the writer thinks of the experience of visiting said building, you shouldn't really rate it as exceptional. Let's see people rating honestly!!!!

I usedto give the advice pretend the person had never heard of the product but I am thinking now the consumer must know a little bit about the product to want to read a review. For example a perosn might have heard a song on the radio and wondrred if th whole album was similar. (That's an actual situation for me) What do other people think??

l have looked up products for which l have received a request as a gift suggestion; so l would tend to still give that advice . . . BUT . . .
Please don't patronise me or tell me lists of history and technical specs (particularly if the specs are available in product details already) . . .
l have been known to comment "Less is More" when a review has too much detail.
