If you are unsure of how to write a review or would like to hone your reviewer skills, here are some suggestions on how to look at a book. Don’t try to cover all the points; just get some ideas:
- Why did you select this particular book for review?
- How well does the author write, hold the reader’s interest, inspire the reader, etc. Use a brief quotation from the book itself to illustrate your observations, opinions, and comments.
- Who is the book for?
- Does the book succeed in what the author is trying to accomplish? Does it entertain, instruct, persuade, inform, teach, alarm, etc.?
- What is the author's background? What other titles has the author written?
- Make it as long or as short as you feel is necessary to say what should be said.
- Above all, have a good time with it, so take a book you liked and give reviewing a try!
