Curiosity on Critiques

queenoftheskiesHave you ever run across a piece that you tried to critique, but it was so totally impossible to understand that you couldn't even figure it out enough to critique it???
I read (or tried to) through a three part piece to critique on one of the groups/lists I belong to. It so made no sense. It's hard to even know where to BEGIN to critique other than to tell the author I have no clue what's going on.
And, the really sad part is that the writing itself is actually pretty good...quite good in parts. But, the story is very convoluted and there are things I really need to know in order to even be able to critique.
Yes, I could tell the author this, but the critique would only be a few sentences and not very helpful to them.
So, I had to pass on critiquing this, even after reading the whole thing.
