I think people are using quadruple alliteration with two different means - four words all beginning with the same letter and four words all beginning with the same four letters.
I've got an "I--- i--- i--- i---" and I think I've got an "E--- e--- e--- e---", though I cannot at present think what the latter would be. |

Just aprroved! A quadruple x! It is not as strong as my other three pending, but I'm still proud of it, and consider it one of my best reviews.
I'm saving my vote for now, I'm afraid. Xyl- just means wood and so these are not 'different' Xs. |

This deserves a lot more votes. 
To be honest, I was surprised when it never picked up momentum with the votes. I was quite proud of that one. :)
I'm pleased to say I'd already voted on that one, but I suspect at least some of the vote-momentum problem may be because in the UK 'sheik' is pronounced 'shake' and not 'sheek.' Just a thought ... 
Oh that's unfortunate.
I didn't know about/had forgotten the American pronunciation. Even with the vowel change I thought it was a good review. |

Of these I have E, I, O, and W. I have (visual) alliterations for 17 letters. The ones I don't have are J, K, N, Q, U, V, X, Y, and Z. |

This is a triple because of the /sh/ sound in Sheen - the rest are /s/. (That doesn't take away from it as a good review, though) |

Something a little different.
A one worder with word-internal alliteration:
Foo Fighters: everywhere But Home--Foofaraw.
Alliterative pairs:
Boogie Nights--Hung hunk makes mark.
Alternating alliterative pairs:
Fat City--Drunk, punch-drunk pugs.
Enjoy.

Nothing fancy here I'm afraid.
I discovered that I haven't had many alliterative reviews pubished.
In my early days on the site I posted the following:
Adventures Of Robin Hood, The (1938)
Feral Flynn.
A few months ago I came up with:
Complete Works Of William Shakespeare (Abridged), The (2000)
Avon abridged.
But more recently still I went wild with two for:
Mrs. Henderson Presents (2005)
Toff touts topless totty.
&
Toff's totty titillate Tommies.

F.W.F.R.ers' challenge 1: alliteration
). Two of them have three alliterative letters because of hyphenated words. As M0rk says they are not as challenging but they tend to have a pithy zing to them.
