What makes a good book review? Aviendha Send a noteboard - 26/07/2011 09:17:55 PM
And here's why I ask: after over a decade of being a consumer, I want to actually add content to this here website. But, I'm not a writer, I've been out of full time ed for a while, and, while I read quite a lot, I don't do it with any clear direction of thought. I mean, I'm not looking for anything, or judging the book except in terms of my own entertainment (or whatever else it is I seek).

I was in Waterstones in Nottingham the other day when a local author was there, signing his books. I spoke with him for about 10 minutes, and bought the book. His discription of the way he wrote it made me think, 'Hmm...here is something really different. At least, different for me. I'd like to try and share it with readandfindout, especially if it turns out to be really good'.

I decided I want to write a book review.

How the hell do I do that? }<img class=' />

Well, I thought I'd ask people who know ;)

Do I need to read the book a certain way? Take notes along the way? Organise thoughts in a certain order? Are there books that tell you how to review books?! Is there anything I should avoid doing?

Can you help me please }<img class=' />

Well, a "review" is merely but a re-viewing - 26/07/2011 11:20:55 PM 636 Views
We did this as an exercise a while back. It might help? - 27/07/2011 01:09:58 PM 610 Views
