A book review is an evaluation of a work, not a book report.

Begin with a short summary or background of the work, but do not give too much away. Many reviews limit themselves only to the first couple of chapters or lead the reader up to the rising action of the work. Reviewers of nonfiction texts will provide the basic idea of the book’s argument without too much detail. The final portion of your review will detail your opinion of the work.

Your Evaluation: Choose one or a few points to discuss about the book. What worked well for you? How does this work compare with others by the same author or other books in the same genre? What major themes, motifs, or terms does the book introduce, and how effective are they? Did the book appeal to you on an emotional or logical level? Please also include here who you would recommend the book to.

These guidelines borrowed from Owl at Purdue University. For more information visit: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/ resource/704/01/
