Descriptive, knowledgeable, and conjoined are only a few ways Donna Seaman approaches the way she critics books. In the Blog Critics, Dean Seaman that, "...the art you dedicate yourself to and devote your critical attention out of hunger for what books or music, literally, food grants you...."
A description is to convey an idea or an impression, in which Seaman approaches her reviews. Seaman continues to back up her idea by the knowledge of history and evidence. Questioning the reviewer for lack of knowledge and general idea is never what a critic would like to have happen and Seaman "sustains enough distance" to let the reader convey their own impression.
Seaman shows how discipline and the immersion to any subject has to involve passion in the thoughts to fully understand the basis of any read or viewed piece.
Pulling quotes from pieces into a review locks in more understanding to what the piece is about. Seaman does it in a way the can’t be confused not only flows well but the transition from book to the approach of the review is perfected in her writing skills.
Reviews of Seaman almost is hard to tell it’s a review because of the constant engagement even conversation she has with the reader over tea. Again, descriptive words to lock in attention, the continuation of begging middle and end is effortless, because it is almost difficult to un-puzzle breakage where Seaman transfers from one idea to another.
The approach with Seaman is simple, knowledge, knowledge knowledge because with that, there is evidence and with evidence there is a description.
