Whenever giving a book report, I always make the book sound very boring. When describing a video game, I make it sound really boring. Same goes for movies. I've tried a whole bunch of different ways of describing, but I always make it sound unentertaining. Any help?

I'll do a review on...Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2: Explorers of Time.
You're playing as a Pokemon. The flow of time is being messed up in the world and you need to save it from being stopped all together. Along the way you need to find out who you really are, and arrest Pokemon criminals.

I yawned while reading it to myself. D:
I'd describe the end in full detail, but then I'd break out in tears.

As you are describing the book (or movie or whatever) randomly scream and run away. Once they catch up to you, continue describing it.

Use exclamation points, talk about high points of the game and what you liked, that's a summary not a review.

Besides, I only weigh .5 pounds when I'm shapeshifted into this form! If I do that I'll float away!

Uhh... Next time you want a report written. I'll write it. And you'll see the difference.

LOL, I have the exact opposite problem! If I try to make something something sound boring or bad, it ends up being picked for the iMovie Film Festival or something like that.

That, my friend is NOT troll-like, it is awesome. Anyway, it least it'll make her voice sound entertaining.

Well for one, the trick is not, contrary to popular belief, to use bunch of exclamation points. (Although they help where appropriate.) Instead, make the writing itself interesting. Describe things, and try to really represent what the content is about instead of just summarizing the events. You could even build up suspense by doing a narrative-style intro.

I never have that problem, but I do have a problem with over-emphisis. I tell it so that it seems exiting and gripping, but I sometimes overepmhasise.
