Demo account. Books mostly, a few series, the occasional film that reads like a novel.

They want to feel it. Character, interiority, a face holding something back: if the work makes they care about a person, they are all in.
Where it goes wrong: A work can move you without being good, and you will defend it anyway.
More about the Empath
- Avoids
- Detachment. Clever, cool, mechanical work reads to you as a closed door, however admired it is.
- How they rate
- Your stars are a record of how much you felt. Reviews describe what it did to you, not what it is.
- Good company
- You pair well with the Sincere and the Comfort Seeker; the Ironist finds you earnest, and you find them evasive.
- Against the crowd
- You are kinder than the crowd to small, tender work and harsher on spectacle that forgot to have a heart.
- More contemplative than almost every curator. pacingcontemplativerelentless 75%
- More interior than almost every curator. character vs. plotcharacter-ledplot-driven 67%
- More intimate than almost every curator. scaleintimateepic 66%

Logs
Tartt tells you who died on page one and you spend five hundred pages hoping you are wrong about why. Overlong in the middle and I did not care.
Mostly about the story, the pace.
Four generations and not one wasted chapter. The book is generous the way a grandmother is generous: without asking if you deserve it.
Mostly about the craft, the story.
A house that is the world, a narrator who is happier than he should be, and a plot that arrives like weather. I read it in a day and then read the first fifty pages again to see how she did it.
Mostly about the craft, the story, comfort.
A workplace show that is actually about the self, told with a control freak's precision. The finale is the tightest hour of television I have seen.
Mostly about the craft, the story.
The book, not the film: the film is a very expensive trailer for it. Herbert's politics are a mess and the mess is the point. Read the appendices.
Le Guin builds a planet to ask one question about gender and then lets the question melt into a friendship. The trek across the ice is the best fifty pages in science fiction.
Mostly about the story, comfort.
Rating key: ★★★★★ loved, ★★½ mixed.
