What is a Book Review? Tips for writing your book review.

A book review is an informative piece of writing that summarizes the book and presents some brief analysis of its main elements like plot,
setting, characters, tone and background of the story.

Writing book reviews helps improve our analytical and communication skills and practice expressing our thoughts and ideas about the different
aspects of the book we read.

When writing a book review, planning is the key to success. The first draft writing will make sure that you have covered all the key points of the
book and do not miss anything important when it comes to writing the final draft.

Book Summary

The summary of the book includes a broad overview of the book and its plot. It details the main theme and story, point of narrative, setting and
the whole story at large.

If you have read the book carefully, you could work this part of writing the book report process effectively.

Once you are done with the review, it is time that you tie all the loose ends and end it strongly. A good closing will give an overview of the entire
plot and summarize the book report concisely. Be careful that you do not introduce any new ideas or themes here because this is where you are
binding everything together. However, do add your point of view.

Don’t forget to write the impact of the book and state whether you recommend it.

Go through the assignment and check if the conclusion meets the specific requirements.
