Suggestions for Book Review

Here’s what publishers Agora Books (https://www.agorabooks.co/how-to-give-a-book-an-honest-star-rating/) says on it:

“We value your thoughtful stars because they’re one of the best ways for us to understand your experience with our books. The words that accompany a starred review are essential, of course, but summing up your thoughts into a bundle of little stars is a concise way for us, and others, to glimpse into your experience with a title.

“Star ratings are so much more than a flippant opinion. They can make or break another reader’s decision to buy a book. They can be the deciding factor in whether a retailer stocks a title. They have a direct impact [on] sales. And, though the shield of the internet can often make us forget it, authors are in fact human, and they do look at their reviews. 

“Having the opportunity to review an author’s work is a powerful position to be in, so we know your decisions don’t come without thought. In case it helps, next time you’re struggling with a score, here’s what we see, as a publisher, with each star rating you give us.

From Book Riot, How to Write a Book Review (https://bookriot.com/how-to-write-a-book-review/)

1. BEGIN WITH A BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE BOOK

This is probably the best way to introduce any review because it gives context. But make sure to not go into too much detail. Keep it short and sweet since an official summary can be found through a Google search.

2. PICK OUT THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF THE BOOK

I usually break this down with character, world-building, themes, and plot. But this might vary between books, genres, and your tastes. Along with what you enjoyed.

3. INCLUDE BRIEF QUOTES AS EXAMPLES

Including quotes is always a great idea, because it gives examples for everything that you’re saying! If your review talks about a character being particularly witty, a witty line from the character lets your readers see exactly what kind of witty character you’re dealing with here.

4. WRITE A CONCLUSION THAT SUMMARISES EVERYTHING

Like your introduction, keep your conclusion short and sweet! It should bring up the main points of your review, along with your overall opinion of the book.

5. FIND SIMILAR BOOKS

A great way to wrap up a review is to find similar books to the one you’re reviewing. So you can say, “if you were a fan of X book, I think you’ll definitely like this one!”

You can also be more specific, looking at the exact things that might make two books similar. So you can suggest something like…“if you liked that the main character in X book was a kick-ass superhero, then you’ll love the main character of this book!”

6. GIVE IT A STAR RATING
