What is a book review?

A book review is very different from a book report! A book review is a chance for you to tell us a little about a book you have read and whether or not you would recommend we read it!

When a good reader finishes a book he or she wants to talk about the book. This is your chance to share you opinion with others.

The following things need to be included in your book review:
1. Title, author, subject and genre.

2. A brief description and summary of the book. This should resemble the type of summary found on the back of a book. DO NOT COPY FROM A WEBSITE OR THE BACK OF THE BOOK! Use your own words.

3. Your opinion of the book. Some things to consider are...

• What did you like about the book?
• What did you not like about the book?
• Who would enjoy reading this book?
• Does this book remind you any other books?
• Would you read other books by this author?

REMEMBER, YOU WILL NOT GET CREDIT IF YOU COPY YOUR WORK FROM SOMEONE ELSE, A WEBSITE, OR THE BACK OF A BOOK!!
