When adding a review, remember that it may be read by many people. Think about what readers may want to know about the item you are reviewing. A statement such as "I hated it" may be true, but it does not enlighten the reader about the item. Instead, consider the good and bad points about the item, or how this edition of the item differs from others. People act on reviews, so your review should reflect the item in a balanced and interesting way.
