Don’t give away the story! 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.

Please also include here who you would recommend the book to.
