Writing a Book Review

Writing a book review is a great way to tell other people about a book that you have recently read. You can write the review about any book whether you liked it or not. When people read your review, they can decide if they too want to read the book.

The first step in writing a book review is to tell the Title and Author of the book followed by if you liked or disliked it.

In the next paragraph it's best to try to introduce the characters and
the plot of the book. Write the review as if you were talking to someone about the book.

In a book review, you should try not to tell hoe the story ends, this way if someone does want to read it, it won't be spoiled for them.

A few more tips....

**You can tell in your review if the story made you laugh or cry.
**Did you have a hard time putting the book down or did
you have a hard time getting into it?
**Did you root for the underdog or did you like the bad guy?
**If there is a sequel, will you read it?
