I'm struggling surprisingly with the Firefox News writeup for Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead. I've been doing them like book reviews - no spoilers, just a setup and general reaction. I ask y'all, as you are my most likely bunch of readers who'll respond, what would you prefer? To continue book-style, or to do a full beginning-to-end recap with added snark, squee, and meta? Recap style gives me more leeway, and also would allow me to do the first half of multi-part episodes in their own post.

Dood, snark, squee and meta are the meat and veg of the site. ;)

The reason I was waiting to do the two together was because book-style you can't really comment on half of it.

The downside is that doing the recap style will take longer (i.e., I'm not going to have a chance to rewatch and snark until I've gotten the finale out of my system come back from my parent's on Sunday.

When I'm going in-depth on a horror film review, I tend to open book-style and then segue (fairly clearly) into a more detailed description later in the review. Not a strict recap, but more of a "didja see this omg?" thing.

I like the way you've done them, but recaps would also be interesting.

I think that added snark, squee, and meta would be lots of fun to read.

If "Recap style" is more like TWoP's style than "Book style" is, then "Recap" is the style that I'll appreciate reading the most!

FWIW.

I have issues with TWOP, but yes, that's the general idea.
