Example of Review Text about Novel

Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix

I absolutely love the Harry Potter series, and all of the books will always hold
a special place in my heart.
I have to say that of all the books, however, this one was not my favorite.
When the series began it was as much of a “feel good” experience as a huge
mug of hot cocoa. The stories were bright, fast-paced, intriguing, and
ultimately satisfying.
Order of the Phoenix is a different kind of book. In some instances this works
you feel a whole new level of intensity and excitement by the time you get to
the end. I was truly moved by the last page. Other times the book just has a
slightly dreary, depressing feel. The galloping pace of the other books has
slowed to a trot here, and parts of it do seem long, as if we’re reading all
about Harry “just hanging out” instead of having his usual adventures.
Reading in detail about Harry cleaning up an old house, for example –
housekeeping is still housekeeping, magical or no, and I’m not very interested
in doing it or reading about other people doing it.
A few other changes in this book – the “real” world comes much more in to
play rather than the fantasy universe of the previous books, and Harry has
apparently been taken off his meds. I know that he had a lot to be grumpy in
this book, especially with being a teenager and all, but the sudden change in
his character seemed too drastic. He goes from being a warm-hearted,
considerate person to someone who will bite his best friend’s heads off over
nothing. It just seemed like it didn’t fit with his character, like he turned into
a walking cliché of the “angry teen” overnight. The “real” story seemed to
happen in the last 1/3 of the book, and this part I loved. I actually liked the
ending (and yes, I cried!) as sad as it was. It packed a punch and it made me
care about the story even more. Still a really good book, with some editing it
would have been great.
Example of Review Text about Song
“Baby” Justin Bieber
“BABY” represents more of the same from Justin Bieber. It’s a squeaky-
clean song that finds the singer once again pouring his heart out to a girl he
likes. Though his crush breaks his heart in the end. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix
it” seems to be Justin Bieber’s motto, since most of his songs — including
“Baby” — sound very similar. Here, Bieber falls back on the heavy synth-
presence and formulaic pop beats that characterize his entire last album.
Though his vocals and I-want-to-be-sweet-to-you approach are still somewhat
 endearing, the pattern is starting to wear thin. The most interesting part of the
song is the Ludacris verse.
Did you know Justin says “Baby” exactly 55 times in the song. The lyrics
aren’t the most clever we’ve ever heard, weI’ve heard worse, but it just
repeats “Bay-be, bay-be, bay-be ohh” Not the best hit in my standers, but
some like it, and thats perfectly fine.
Example of Review Text about FILM

Film Spider-Man: Homecoming

Spider-Man: Homecoming is a fun movie about one of Marvel’s most
enduringly popular characters. Starring an actual teen (Tom Holland) as web-
slinging high schooler Peter Parker, its spirit is very much in line with the
original comics. As always with Spider-Man, there are messages about power
and responsibility, finding strength within yourself, being brave, and
persevering.
Clever, funny, and true to the Spider-Man spirit, this take on everyone’s
favorite web-slinger is thoroughly entertaining. The world was
understandably skeptical of yet another Spidey reboot, but in this case, it was
the right call. Even more than the Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield takes
on the wall crawler — as good as those were — Spider-Man: Homecoming
really captures the tone of the original comics. A large part of that is thanks to
the fact that, for the first time on the big screen, Peter is being played by an
actual teenager.
It’s not a perfect film; the plot doesn’t always have a totally clear trajectory.
And while Tony and Peter’s lack of communication/mutual frustration brings
to mind Harry’s relationship with Professor Dumbledore during some of the
Harry Potter saga, their dynamic brings something new and powerful to the
Marvel-verse as well: true mentorship.
‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ – the 16th installment in the Marvel Cinematic
Universe – might just be one of the best ones yet! The latest Spider-Man
movie introduces us to a new, hilarious, middle-school aged Peter Parker
(Tom Holland), who is facing multiple difficulties in his teenage life. While
he’s trying to prove to his new mentor, Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey
Jr), that he has what it takes to become an Avenger.
