You have no idea. You've put your finger on what was bothering me - the prose is lifeless, and your suggestions are a shot in the arm. I was sitting here drooping over my computer, staring at the same paragraphs again and again, moving the sentences around until I couldn't see straight.

thank you for highlighting a Krademacher review - always informative. (note I haven't used 'was' once!)

Yeah, I'll never look at "was" the same way again.

On another thread we've been talking about writing goals for the New Year. I decided that one of mine is to try to write every review I do as if i were krademacher. A lofty goal, I know, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.
