Beautiful as a Rose


Content: 36/40

I'm sorry you seem to have so many medical problems. You always seem to have some new ailment when you write, but I did agree that your site is to be used for your whining, because that's what you have it for, so I won't ridicule you for using the site as you want (that's the point!). Your entries seemed warm-feeling, as though you were perfectly comfortable with whomever reads your site. You don't seem like you need a disclaimer, and that is a good writing trait to have. You're emotional without being crazy about it, which I have a feeling might be one of your personality traits. It is nice, then, to see your personality coming through in your writing: that is a powerful weapon to have when you write. Your entries were well-thought out, if not day-log style, but if that's what you want, so be it. Also, I found that while you don't necessarily talk a lot about what happens in your day, I can keep up with what is going on in your daily life, and that makes reading from day to day (even when the entries aren't every day) much easier.


Literary style/Grammar: 10/10

All looks well here. Your style is...pretty normal I think. It's interesting enough that I could read entries without giving up on them or dying of boredom, and I think that definately counts for something. :)


Layout: 11/15

Why is the title "beautiful as a rose," when the design is exclusively a feather? Also, I so know those lyrics, and can't remember where they're from...oh well. They match the design quite well, and all the colors look good. I must admit, I don't like how the navigation moves with the entry. I think it would be better stationary like the image. Just a personal preference though. Also, why is the counter yellow? I don't like it... it doesn't match!


Contact: 5/5

Email, Guestbook, Notes, ICQ.


Extras: 5/5

Reviews, Cast, Rings, About Me, ICQ thingy...


Ethereality: 15/15

I must say, I have never read someone with so many medical ailments. That is definately unique. Most people either don't have them or don't write about them. And while I'm no doctor, I did enjoy trying to figure out what you had (I guessed strep too!). Full marks for unique medical issues in literary form. :)


Will I return? 2/5

Prolly not...


Total: 89/100 --- B+


Additional comments:

Music of the review: yep, still Garden State soundtrack (this is like the 8th time through though).
