I didn't understand what this meant, could someone please expand? Thanks!

Hi. Sorry - I usually include the explanatory blog post.

I just mean that reviews are usually written with the reader in mind, and including personal reactions interrupts the flow and doesn't add anything to the review. For example, explaining how a movie is suspenseful within the context of the movie itself is more effective than saying, "The movie made me jump out of my seat."

Thanks,
Ed
