Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)

Review: 2020.016 (A Word for Authors)

Pro: It does a good job of mimicking the language and style of the original, but with lots of evolutionary and biological terms put in.

Con: There’s not any sort of story here, although I suppose one could accuse the original of that as well.
