#8: Helpful Reviews

You've read a story and you'd like to leave a comment; something more useful than "that was good" but less than offering a suggestion for any flaws like an in-depth critique. Orson Scott Card in his book How to Write Science Fiction and Fantasy gives five questions that concentrate on story mechanics instead of literature theory.

Were you ever bored, or found your mind wandering? Where did this happen?
Were there any characters whose names you just couldn't remember?
Was there anything you didn't understand? Was there any part you had to read twice? Was there any part where you were confused?
Was there any point where you said "oh, come on!" i.e., was any part not believable?
(If the work is unfinished) What do you think will happen next? What are you still wondering about?

I know I'm extremely guilty of not using these questions when I should. They help you keep the review positive. I know there are some stories out there that it is very hard to stay positive about. Good luck reviewing.
