Great Regulars: Inexperienced reviewers often make the mistake

of paying too much attention to how they feel about what they are reviewing, and not enough to what they are reviewing.

It isn't that reviewers ought not to communicate how they feel about what they are writing about. That is, after all, one of the purposes of a review. But they will better get across how they feel if they concentrate on the details of the work under consideration, not the details of their reaction to it.
