A good book review is a mixture of evaluation and summary. Here are a few tips suggested by HG Nadel to get you started on the way to great reviews.

Opening statement should be catchy. You want to compel the reader to read more. It should also include the following in all book reviews: Authors first and last name, title of the book, and number of pages. You can also include the publisher and year all of this will give the reader a way to look for the book if they want to purchase or read it at a library.

Next comes the introduction. This is where you give the audience a synopsis of the book. Include things like the genre, main ideas and cast of characters.

Critic the writing style, and discuss any interesting story lines and points.

Use excerpts or quotes when needed, to enhance your point of view. Is

there a lesson to be learned? What social relevance does it have? Is it relatable? These are a few of the question you should answer in this section of your book review.

Conclusion. This is where you talk about what you liked or disliked and give a summary of the entire book. It is here that you are free to discuss your personal feelings about the work. Talk about the language, if it is easy to read and understand and is there continuity. Also a recommendation to future readers can be added here.
