I find that when I read something I either like it or don't, and find it difficult to tell you why either way. Some stories I stop reading after a few lines because they just don't grab me. Most people would take comments like, "I don't like it", or "It just doesn't grab me" the wrong way, and so they should as they would be complaints rather than constructive criticisim. Whilst on the subject of the galleries can we have some sort of indication in the thumbs to say whether a piece of work is a story or poetry. I'm not much into modern poetry and am usually disappointed when I find a thumb that looks like it might be a good read only to find it's a poem, regardless of how good said poem may be.
