Writing Book Reviews

Introduction to Book Reports



Most people write book reports for school purposes, however, there are some fortunate humans who get paid to do it. These new set of lessons on this site will be exploring the nature and composition of book reviews/reports. Let's start at what do we know basically about them.

What are book reports/reviews?

In the most basic sense, they are the emotional and intellectual responses of a reader to something someone has written, whether poetry or prose, or even academic writing. People always react to everything they encounter, which is the reason ratings exist. If we like something, we share it, the same is true for what we don't like, however, we communicate our disgust in the same manner.

The difference with book reviews is that they are more formal or structured means of evaluating
something you have read, and they range from a simple emotional response to what you've read, to a complex analytical assessment, involving more detailed research.

Note, however, that all writing require some amount of effort on your part, if you want to do it well. As Kevin Anderson, one of the contributing writers of the book, "Write Good or Die" says, there is no shortcut to writing. It requires preparation and practice on your part, just like every other skill that people take seriously.

So buckle up, and let's get going. We will first examine book reviews on an emotional level, and then we will move on to the formalities involved - the various structures involved in constructing book reviews, and then we will move on to the writing process involved in composing a book review.

See you soon, and I hope you found something helpful. Cheers!

Something to Think About

What is Wrong with  Wrong ?         We hear about  sin , we hear about wrong doing, we hear about criminality and all liked terms. Maybe you've even heard of one that I have never heard. Sin is a term used from a moral or religious perspective to define unacceptable states or behaviours. Criminality, on the other hand, just as unacceptable, is defined by established laws, which also encompass moral issues. But why is wrong wrong?        If I should bite you now, what would happen to you? If I should bite you because I hate you, what would happen to you? If you should bite me back, what would happen to you and I? What would happen to us? Wrong doing/being, sin, crime, all these things hurt other people. It hurts us all; it hurts the people who experience it and it makes the ones who do these things worse.  Wrong doing and wrong being does not cause peace. It does not encourage patience, or love, or joy. It creates an...

For Fun and Health

Everyone, these days, is afraid of getting a huge gut. 😊 And of course we all understand why, right? Well, huge stomachs, unless you are pregnant, are associated with poor health, right? Sometimes when I'm walking on the road, and I see people with huge stomachs, I wonder how they got those really, big bellies.  I have heard that drinking a lot of beer regularly can cause you to get a big belly. I have heard eating late at nights, and then going to sleep does the same thing. Even lack of activity is said to be a culprit. And maybe these are all legitimate causes. But recently, I discovered another culprit for a big gut. I bet you will never guess what. Seriously, you would never think about this one. Let me give you some time to wrack your brain 😁😁😁😁😁😁. Here it is.....your belly is full of sh_t. Yep. It appears that if you haven't done a detox, especially a colon cleanse in a while, your intestine is packed, and loaded with all that excess baggage.  If you have a tummy,...
