What is Book review?

enhanced your understanding of the research problem under
investigation.
3. In addition to analyzing a book's strengths and weaknesses, a
scholarly review often recommends whether or not readers
would value the work for its authenticity and overall quality.
This measure of quality includes both the author's ideas and
arguments and covers practical issues, such as, readability and
language, organization and layout, indexing, and, if needed,
the use of non-textual elements.
6
Here are some sample questions that can help you think critically
about the book:
7
“first,” the "best," or the "only" book of its kind can be a risky
unless you're absolutely certain because your professor
[presumably] has a much better understanding of the overall
research literature.
Lesson

To demonstrate that you are aware of important and recent studies in your study
area. This way you ensure, that you haven’t missed an important study that
makes your research idea seem less brilliant than your first imagined.
To ensure that you haven’t missed literature detailing a novel way for you to
conduct your study or pointing you to a data-collection tool that is most
appropriate for your study.
To explain the theoretical background to your proposed research project.
To demonstrate your ability to critically analyze the literature in your study area.
This indicates that your research idea is based on a good understanding of
previous research in the area, and it also demonstrates your ability to highlight
the existing gap or any disagreements in the research area that your study
addresses.

3 Research Report
It is not farfetched to claim that most students shy away from research
paper. Research by nature, entails tedious preparation, long hours of working,
and meticulous writing. You need to know what you want to research on and
have it narrowed down so you would not have to spend unnecessary time on
matters that do not really help your research. Meticulous writing means that
every claim you make in your research is backed up so well that it leaves little
to no room for loopholes that are subject to questions and criticisms.
But then again, research is quintessential aspect of learning.
