How do I go about writing a good Book Review? »

What is the best way to write a book review?

I want to know how to write a review on a book that I'm ccurrently reading.

it really depends on the book that you are reading and how long you want the book review to be. but here is a suggestion:

title page
brief introduction
author's purpose/objective/thesis (why the author wrote the book)
brief overview of the book

what was your opinion of the book
take about some of the issues or plot conflicts in the book and how effectively it was developed
critique the book- would you encourage other people to read the book

you can also compare your book to another book written by the same author (this is more effective if the two books have a similar theme e.g. Mansfield park vs. pride and prejudice by Jane Austen)

other sections you can add for non-fiction book reviews:
did you agree or disagree with the author's point of view
how effective was the book in supporting its thesis

keep in mind that you can add other sections to the book review to make it longer. you can also get rid of some sections to shorten it. also get creative and write about someone else that other people have not thought about

good luck with your book review

    Put the title of the book on the first line then on the second put the author than start a papagraph and write about the book.
