Don't you think using quotes at the start of your reviews feels a little trite? And why are you writing these long reviews? Is that just how you naturally express your feelings or are you trying to get published?

I'm genuinely curious.

I'm a pretentious asshole. It's supposed to sound grandiose, not trite. So goes to show how unsuccessful I was :p. I'd love to get published (I need to find a new job and fixed my messed-up life), but even if I can't, I might as well put it down in writing. Even if no one reads them, I suppose it makes me feel a little better that it's down.
