100 Word Reviews Blog

[Jonathan]

Introducing a new website where I review books, theatre, film, and other random stuff - all reviews precisely 100 words. I'm aiming for an informative but entertaining, sometimes crazy website!

[Michael]

Cool idea - let me know if you want to do a blog shout out.

[Jonathan]

Thanks, Michael! I'll be in touch!

[Jonathan]

Apologies for neglecting this thread. The latest reviews include the films Pride and Under The Skin, Collabro's album, and book reviews of The Pharmacist by Justin David and The Housemates by Iain Rob Wright.

Good review - I've shared the link.

And the offer for the shout out is still open :-)

[Jonathan]

Oh cool! Thanks, Michael! Can I take you up on that offer now I've got a few posts under my belt? :)

[Michael]

Sure, send me a mail and we can set it up.

[Kath]

I think it's amazing how well you can sum up a book or film in 100 words. It makes me think I spend a lot of time flanneling!

Been catching up on my 100 word review blog. You can now find reviews of:

Before I Go To Sleep by SJ Watson (book)
Before I Go To Sleep (film)
A Single Man (film)
The Riot Club (film)
What We Did On Our Holiday (film)

[Kath]

Oh, just caught up! I bet it takes you nearly as long to condense a review into 100 words as it does to watch the film!

[Jonathan]

Actually it's surprisingly quick to write them. You get a feel for what the bare bones of a review need to be. No room for waffle!

[Kath]

Hmmm... droool.... waffles. ;)

[Jonathan]

My latest 100 word review is the film Gone Girl, which is now one of my films of the year: http://www.100wordreviews.com/blog/go...

[Michael]

Cool :-)

[Kath]

Interesting. Sometimes you don't need to be too literal in your interpretation. :)

[Jonathan]

Just posted a couple of new reviews, one for a cosy Christmassy book and another for one of the most spectacular things I have ever seen!
