A negative review is fine. I like negative reviews. Hell, look up some of Darren McLennan's 1/1s.

This <em>isn't a review</em>. It conveys no information about the product or the information therein beyond a hideously biased personal opinion. There's no substance, just a bunch of posturing about how 4E is obviously and self-evidently crap.

A review should tell us what a product is, and what the reviewer thinks about that. This review doesn't tell us about most of the content of the product (half a sentence is not information), and tells us what the reviewer thinks about 4E as a whole, not this specific product.

Ergo, not a review.
