Tuscan Dairy Whole Vitamin D Milk Amazon Review

To write a good review, whether it be for Amazon, Yelp, or any other site, one must include the essentials, such as whether the product did its job, whether the product worked well, and whether they would buy the product again. However, for a great review, it needs to have some personality, a voice, something intriguing about it that makes people actually want to read it, and that is exactly what this review (https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R1FGAOX1UNBAVM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00032G1S0) does. While the reviews of other products may lean towards the more serious side, it is a little unclear who exactly would be looking to buy milk off of Amazon or even who is looking for a serious review of the milk. Therefore, most of the writers of these reviews are writing their reviews to entertain, especially Kathryn Sebti, who mimics the voice of the Cookie Monster from the well-known and beloved show Sesame Street, clearly hooking her readers from the beginning of this short review. Through her tone and sentence structures, such as when she says: "Me can only make through full day of teaching kids good health and grammar with Tuscan milk... and cookie," she really gets across Cookie Monster's manner. Although this less serious quality is not always consistent across the reviews of various products, such as the reviews for a Nikon camera, which contain more serious and purposeful reviews, the tone of her review is consistent with the other reviews of the milk, which contain various sexual innuendos and jokes. Further, while not all the reviews on the Tuscan milk contained the necessary qualities of a review, Sebti still states that she likes the product and would buy it again, making it a good yet compelling review.

  1. Wonderful job. Your first sentence concisely explains the typical elements of the customer review genre. Nice job in analyzing the elements of your chosen review which do fit that genre, but also the ways in which the review differs from the typical review. Especially good job in incorporating quotes from the review as evidence to support your conclusion!
