What is a book review?

A book review is a review or a critique of a book that you have read.

A book review can reflect on what the reader found important or interesting about the text and can be different depending on the audience of the book review.

Example of a Book Review

When writing your book review you can start by asking yourself a few questions:

  • What did you think of the major character?
  • What did you think of the plot?
  • Would you recommend the book to others?
  • What type of people would love this book? For example: If you liked Harry Potter you would love this book

Example of a Book Review

Whisper by Lynette Noni was such a good read because it was a mystery and also a supernatural book. I loved the way the main character’s quest was slowly revealed and once I understood the mystery, I couldn’t put down the book. The Supernatural part of the book was unique because I haven’t read anything like that before. You must also read book 2 ‘Weapon’, because it is just as good. (71 words)
