Reviewing A Book - Organization And Writing
The reviewer should try to include the following sections in the review:
Preliminary
- Provide the reader with a detailed summary of the book, i.e. title, author, publisher, date, paging, cost.
The beginning
- Effective, catchy opening sentence. DO NOT USE ``This book is...''
Development
- Relate and link all the elements needed in a book review. This means it will often be necessary to relate different parts of the book review and checklist one to the other. i.e. ``How the author's bias affected his selection and use of sources.''
- Book reviews should not have long quotations, divisions or chapters. Brief quotations may sometimes be used to illustrate a point but brevity is the key.
Conclusion
- Try to end the review with an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the book.
