To anyone with any remaining interest, I'd like to point you to Beau Rancourt's blog. He reviews scenarios and does it better than anyone else I've found. Here's his review of In The Shadow of Tower Silveraxe that also doubles as a rubric for his review methodology. No other reviewer I've found actually examines the game-based underpinnings of D&D scenarios to see whether or not the designers are actually doing any good game design rather than good narrative design. We need fewer Bryce Lynch types, more Beau Rancourts.
Anyone looking to improve how their adventures are written should design in the way that Rancourt reads.
