Every review that contains specifics is useful to me. The only ones that are completely useless are those that contain only vague and disparaging comments. Consider this excerpt:
"The story is not amazing, but it was not horrible either. There were no glaring problems that made it a suffer to read, nor was there anything in it to make it a page turner. It was a true example, for me, of a utility-neutral book: I gained nothing from it. Your mileage may vary, but I for one did not find much to keep me coming back to Xenolith, aside from the desire to be done with it and move on to more interesting books."
What can a writer possibly draw from this except to write something more 'amazing?'
