I've extended Erica Sadun's global App Store review scraper with some Hpricot hackery to elicit review rating, author, subject and body.

See github/iphone-scripts for this Ruby code with a simple command-line presentation.

iTunes uses purely layout-based XML without semantic meaning to display screens, so there's little to marry the content to review structure. The embedded CSS paths are therefore quite brittle -- expect updates to the script.

Back to idiot-proofing my app against the joyous 1-star imps. :)

UPDATE: John Ballinger has incorporated this script into a Dashboard widget.
