    haven't read the first one (I'm more of a pwp than deep, meaningful plot person LOL) but I do recall reading the second title recently and I thought it was hilarious the 2nd review is very accurate in what to expect. Both are brilliant reviews!!! In the end, I went with the first one - discussion of motif and style was thought-provoking and demonstrated that the author spent a lot of time reflecting on the title, perhaps as he/she re-read it in order to write the review...

    Haven't read either, but after having read the reviews, it made me want to read #1, so I voted for that one~

    Fluid, well-written, clear and realistic language used~

    Both were well written, which made it hard to vote! And both also included some criticism, as they should - you don't have to love something to review it. I went with #1 since I liked the organization better, but this was a close vote.

    Hard to choose one as they are both well written.
    I haven't read the first one but, thanks to the accurate review and deep plot, it will be on my "next to read" list so I voted for it.

    The two reviews are quite insightful. One positive, the other negative, but the two anyway gives me a good idea of what I could expect from the books.

    I am voting for #1 for the difference between the 2 reviews that gives me an impression of a bit more "objectivity" in it. The different aspects/categories are rating. Also, the style in writing is, as said, more objective, more levelled, less personal and emotive (I don't find the right word to describe the feeling, but it is along these lines).

    Good job to the 2 reviewers!!

    they are both well-thought out reviews, in my opinion, but i guess what pointed me to number 1 was the way it used a rubric in that it defined/graded certain criteria that readers might want to look for. ^_^

    otsukaresamadeshita to both reviewers!!
