Some posts lately about BS reviews or worthless reveiws. But what about a review that takes 30 mins to read and has 10 chapters and an index?

I appreciate the effort for that kind of review but how many of you actually read the really long reviews? What is an appropriate length?

I read an in depth review all the way unless it becomes evident that it isn't worth reading all the way.

An appropriate length? Hard to say. JUST not the very SHORT BS ones. Be detailed as possible & as descriptive as possible. Try to draw in the reader to your experience.

Some of my reviews can be a bit wordy but I feel that I'm using the words to effect and for good reason as opposed to just writing without purpose or substance.

I'll take too long and too much info over too short and not enough.

I agree that too much is better than not enough. Whether I read a very long review or not depends on my interest in that club. If it's a ghetto club that I have been to before and have no interest in ever going back, I'm not going to read an extremely long review for it.

The old timers might remember this one "a review should be like a woman's skirt - long enough to cover the subject but short enough to be interesting" - adapted from high school Engish teachers response when students ask how long a paper should be.

I like them long especially if I haven't been to the area. But I don't care about the talk about drinks and food. Just tell me if it's safe to park, cover, VIP price, LD amount and if extras go on. The set up of the club and bathroom troll is not that important either.

Doesn't the FAQ say something about making them long and interesting?

I try to be fairly wordy but divide into paragraphs so if you don't want to read about the physical layout of the club (for example) you can just skip that part. Also provide a summary at the end like my high school English teacher taught me.

In my opinion, if it doesn't fit on a single screen (desk or laptop screen, not mobile), it's too long.

Perfect and agreed. I tend to get a little wordy at times, but I try to share as many pertinent details as possible.

This response doesn't surprise me in the LEAST. With his/her apparent educational level, what else are we going to see.

It's not the length of the review that matters. It's the girth.

If the review looks like this

where I can get a visual image. It's ok with me. That is if words can make me get the picture.
