These types of reviews are going to be mostly for style, layout, and design.
Something that is very subjective. Furthermore, most reviewers will not possess
the technical or scientific skills to evaluate the value or accuracy of the
content. 

Thus, such a review might be a nice way to see how others feel about your
style, but it won't give you much in the way of insight to the value of the
material.
