A review is an evaluation of a publication, such as a movie (a movie review), video game, musical composition (music review of a composition or recording), book (book review); a piece of hardware like a car, home appliance, or computer; or an event or performance, such as a live music concert,a play, musical theater show or dance show. In addition to a critical evaluation, the review's author may assign the work a rating to indicate its relative merit. More loosely, an author may review current events, trends, or items in the news. A compilation of reviews may itself be called a review. The New York Review of Books, for instance, is a collection of essays on literature, culture, and current affairs. National Review, founded by William F. Buckley, Jr., is an influential conservative magazine, and Monthly Review is a long-running socialist periodical.

In scientific literature, the literature review is a category of scientific paper, which provides a synthesis of research on a topic at that moment in time. A compilation of these reviews forms the core content of a 'tertiary' scientific journal, with examples including Annual Reviews, the Nature Reviews series of journals and Trends. A peer review is the process by which scientists assess the work of their colleagues that has been submitted for publication in the scientific literature. A software review is also a form of peer review, by the co-workers.

A consumer review refers to a review written by the owner of a product or the user of a service who has sufficient experience to comment on reliability and whether or not the product or service delivers on its promises. An expert review usually refers to a review written by someone who has tested several peer products or services to identify which offers the best value for money or the best set of features. A bought review is the system where the creator (usually a company) of a new product pays a reviewer to review his new product.

Where could I find negative and positive reviews from the 1949 performance of South Pacific?
Q. I have to write an essay on the Reception History of South Pacific. The problem is that since the revival of South Pacific just came out and that it is just that good, I cannot find any information on negative reviews or good reviews from 1949 when it first premiered. If you could tell me where I could find that information I would be most grateful. I Don't need any reviews from the revival and I already looked at New York Times.

A. Dear Emily, I could not find any negative reviews either but thought that you might like to read this bit from Wikipedia. Critical reception and success The first out-of-town tryout for South Pacific began on March 7, 1949, at the Shubert Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut. After the first performance, Mark Todd, a leading theatre critic, told Mary Martin, who was playing Nellie, not to take the show to New York. Martin was shocked and asked why, and Todd replied, "Because it's too... good for them!" The show moved on to Boston, where it was so successful that playwright George S. Kaufman complained (facetiously) that people in Boston were so excited about the show they shoved money under the doors of the Shubert Theatre. "They don't… [cont.]

Where can I find product reviews on video cameras?
Q. I'm going to buy a camera and I'd like to do a little comparative research. My Digital Media teacher used to have an electronics review magazine, but I can't remember the name of it. Is there a website with product reviews on various video cameras?

What are some good sites where I can compare reviews of cell phones?
Q. When I signed up for my phone plan, I got a phone that was offered on a deal at that time, and it's turned out to be kind of a lemon. It's got very short battery life and I've had to replace it twice. Eventually, I'll want to buy a new phone, and I'd like to know some web sites where I can read reviews from phone users and/or other objective reviewers about the value of different phone models. Are you aware of any sites like this, and if so, which ones are good?
