Becoming a peer reviewer

W

Heck, I've received an e-mail from a very high impact journal saying that I've been recommended be a colleague (obviously someone who doesn't like me) as a suitable reviewer for an article. In my youthful enthusiasm, I've said that I will do it (it's by some very noteworthy authors closely related to my field), and I'm just wondering if anyone else here has ever peer reviewed an article? What was it like? Is it potentially difficult and time consuming? I'm going to try and be balanced in any feedback I give, but I'm just a bit worried that I may not have much to say :$

Well, look at you Wally, with your high profile peer review, and everything! Soon you'll only be posting on n the Professors R Us forum...

I was right to be worried that I might not have much to say. I've just read the proof of it and I don't. I don't because I don't actually understand it. Bugger.
