This post is so worth reading. As writers, readers, authors, and bloggers, we can teach our readers that writing a review, should always just come from the heart, whether a short review or long, whatever a reader writes in a review, it will be important and have meaning for other readers and writers – whether glowing or not.
Book reviews are fodder for authors. It’s important for their books. And, as a reader, we can thank the author by leaving a review for their book on your blog, Goodreads, Amazon, or anywhere the book can be bought.
Everyone has their own writing style and there are many ways to write a book review. For me, I write about the three parts of a book that is the most important to me. I also add an intro and conclusion, if you will.
First Thoughts
To begin the review I talk about my initial thoughts on the book. Why I decided to read it, where I got it, and what I think about the overall summary and maybe the cover as well.
Plot
I typically summarize the overall plot of the novel and then talk about what I felt worked with it and what I felt didn’t work with it.
