Reviews are where an experience meets ideas. You go to a concert, a movie, an art exhibition, a restaurant, and it makes you think. Maybe the experience is a 21 for a brand-new idea; maybe it 22 something you've been thinking about for a while. It becomes something worth writing about. The job of the reviewer is to get both the experience and the ideas into words — and into proportion. In some ways, a review is the same as reporting: The facts have to be correct and presented in a coherent way. And in some ways, a review is 23 reporting: your subjective experience and your reactions — intellectual, emotional, visceral — are a big part of it. A review is not about the reviewer. A reader does not care about when the reviewer got to a location or his mood or the weather that day. It's about what a person experienced when he met his work head-on with full attention: what his knowledge tells him about the work, what his immediate experience added to that and where the work can lead next. You might be writing about something your readers don't know about 24 you have discovered; help them share that sense of discovery. Or you might be bringing a new 25 to something familiar. Make it convincing. It's about feeling, learning, thinking, judging, and making all that vivid to your reader.
