Writing book reviews could be an enjoyable experience, and it offers you the opportunity of expressing your opinions about something you may or may not have enjoyed reading. Other readers will choose to know what you've thought of the books you have read, whether you have enjoyed a book or not.

How to write book reviews
Though, providing you think reviewing someone else's master piece is a breeze, then think again.
It can be quite the reverse! Albeit enjoyable, writing a review is a big responsibility. Readers rely
on book reviews to select a novel is for them, and authors rely on book reviews to strenghten their
credibility in the book world, as well as to sell books. A book including several of four and five star
reviews can attract much more awareness than one lacking reviews or getting poor ones. Good
book reviews are the foundation of the author's credibility and a ticket to better and much greater
publicity. Often they can persuade readers to buy a story much more often than compensated
advertising can as reviews tend to be freely given and with no prejudice, and, consequently,
contain far more power.
A well-written review will be received the same as a well-written
book. Take into account, providing you're commenting on someone else's masterpiece,
comments that may possibly well cover the novel's editing, it does assist to propose a book
review in a clear and exact style, free from grammatical mistakes. Beyond all, the book review
ought to be of value to the reader; past all he or she is exploring for a new and meaningful read
and can often look in a different place providing the reviews fall quick from their expectations.
Two factors to bear in mind when writing your review:
a.A book review will two things; it describes the book and it appraises the novel. It can be not a
full description of the story.
b.It will be always better to review a style you could connect to and enjoy reading rather than
rather alien to you. Beginning with "this is not really my type of thing, but..." is very negative, and
struggling with something you are not comfortable with, is not worth the endeavor.

2. The guidelines of reviewing - Are there any rules!
There is no exact or incorrect manner to write a review. Reviews are a personal opinion. Each is
the view of that particular reviewer, and as such written from an exclusive standpoint. There's,
however, a few elements that I encourage, and you may wish to consider, before you start writing
your first story review.
•Read the book from cover to cover (sounds stupid but a brief glance through doesn't cut the
mustard -you need to acquire a proper sense of the story). Providing the book you have chosen
to review turns out not to be as absorbing and entertaining as you first thought, consider yourself
committed, and see it through to the end in any case. Acquire a grasp of its contents. Write
notes as necessary - it will save wading through the story a another time for the details.
Alternatively, if a specific bit is attractive, or there is something you should like to quote, mark
that corner in the book.
•Take into account the plot. Did you enjoy the plot? Did the novel include a plot! Did the it go the
manner you thought it should become, and if so, was it executed well and did it all make any
sense? What is too quick or too long, fast paced or dragged out? What is it conclusive?
•Think about the characters. Were they well-developed? Are they weak or powerful? Were they
likeable? Did you have a favorite character? Were the characters germane to the story? (Not as
surprising as it sounds. Some characters have a habit of creeping into stories and have no
relevance at all)
•From whose prespective was the novel written?
•Did you like the book?
•Did you detest the book?
•Was the book well edited?
•Was the novel suitable to its intended audience?
•Is the novel aiming to convey a message?
•would you read further from this author?
Assuming the book has now been read and you have done the above, it will be time to write it all
down forming your first story review. This is the imaginitive part; the part where you could actually
share your own writing ability. Don't of course become carried away, the reader is looking for a
reasonably honest assessment, other than one or two interesting observations can add to the
review.
Writing the Book Review}
Again, these things are not set in granite; these are merely methods.
•Introduce the novel title, the author, the style and where the novel can be purchased. Tell the
reader the cost of the novel in its various publications. (I.e. eBook, Hardback, Paperback). Write

3. a brief introduction, one sentence will work, to capture the readers attention.
•Create your book review thoughtful and entertaining. Always remember, someone else's
reputation depends on it.
•It is not necessary to present a long, comprehensive summary. The author will have already
completed this at the point of sale. Describe the inside in a few words, lacking spoilers, plus, as
a general rule of thumb, do not go further than the midpoint of the story with your description.
And, hard and fast rule number one - never give away the ending. If the story is part of a series,
it can be constructive to talk about this also, even if you have not read any of the other books.
•Tell the reader what you think of the fashion of writing, the plot and the characters. Tell the
reader how much or how little you liked the novel and why. Incorporate any points you feel are
important and could help the reader to make a decision whether or not he or she could like to
read this story.
•Furnish a brief synopsis of your thoughts. Include your vision of the age group/type of reader
you feel it would be best suited to.
•Rate the story. This is typically, but not at all times, on a one to five star basis.
What providing I do not enjoy the novel?
Providing your opinions are unfavourable - be honest and say so. But do it in a proficient way.
Sincerely try not to offend, and never ‘be personal'. You are empowered, state your views clearly
and fairly, and 'be nice' as the term goes. This is not a stand to offer insults. Remember the
author will, most likely, have put in everything he or she has into writing this book - it will be most
likely their ‘precious baby' and they want everyone else to feel the same route about the story as
they do. Years of hard work may be behind the publication and it can be worth appreciating this
fact. Besides, we authors are a rare species and can usually tend to favor towards the sensitive.
Try not to be totally negative, but do not forget you have a accountability to your readers.
Keep in mind: Be honest, be impartial and be agreeable . By giving the author a review, you are
giving an author a gift. Your book review could make someone very happy, but it could also
destory their day, so select your words cautiously. And who knows; once you start to post a few
reviews, you may even get some book reviews in return for your stories.
Some last words before you hit that ‘Publish' button:
Edit like mad!! Check your spelling (use spellcheck, but bear in mind it isn't infallible) and check
your grammar. Leave for a while before seeking through again. Make sure you are completely
happy with your written book review, and then hit that publish button.
Finished!
