The globe, apparently, is not into serial commas after an “and”. Which is a bummer, as at least two of said commas were doubling as comparitive/joining commas as well, and the sentences involved suffered a bit.

The review reads kind of messy to me. And it doesn’t seem fair to blame it on the amount of material needed to be dealt with in 1,100 words. Oh well, one of these days I’ll write a review I actually like.

Just saying.
