I'm sorry to disagree with you, but sometimes I think that there is something to the saying "Less is More".  Quantity does not necessarily equate with quality.  Of course, there are a lot of lengthy reviews that I have enjoyed but I might as well admit that sometimes I've just given up in the middle of some because something went on and on after everything of value had really been said.


I actually agree with you more than disagree. In this particular case, the top review had three solid paragraphs, was well-written and had good detail both about the product and the author's use of the product. It was probably about 400 words, which is far from what I consider too long.

I certainly agree that reviews can be too long. Then again, some people can write a long review and make it interesting. Others can write a long review and it's just so much verbal Ambien. In this case, none of the reviews came close to being too long. I've really seen very little "too long" on Viewpoints.
