"Particularly good or interesting" articles sound like great ones to write about. That's the opposite of "nothing of interest to us." If you can identify "particularly good or interesting" articles, why write about the current ones? They won't be current forever. If you conclude that a chapter of Good and Real is worthless, then I would like to know that at the start of the review. But surely the reason you chose Good and Real for this treatment is because you don't expect that conclusion.
