Here is a brief guide to what the book review should include:
- The name of the book and the author
- Give a brief taste of the plot, but don’t give the surprises away. Which genre is it? Readers want to know enough about what happens in a book to know whether they’ll find it interesting. But they never want to know the ending!
- Explain how you feel about the book and why, not just what the book is about. A good review should express your opinion and persuade the reader to read the book , e.g. I really enjoyed this book because the story was so funny and I love books that make me laugh – you might too!
- Age recommendations
- Rating (star system, thumbs up/down) and support for rating
Please plan your Book Review (using the template) and write a draft BEFORE you post your comment!
