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!

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,...

You are Special

What makes something valuable? Scarcity. Why? Because if something is not easily found anywhere, it is rare and therefore worth more than what is commonly or easily found. It’s just like diamonds or a rare coin, because it is hard to find, it is valued. Things are even more valuable when they are one of a kind . Now suppose you made something very unique, so unique, there was no other thing like it. And suppose you loved it very much, because it was beautiful or very useful. Would you throw it away? Would you allow this thing that is the only one  of its kind to disappear forever? Would you not try to save it? Would you not try to keep it from being lost? Wouldn’t you protect it? You are valuable. You are one of a kind . You are so unique, the re is no other like you in any form, anywhere . Your DNA is original; not a copy of anyone else. And your designer, God, does not like copies and that’s why you are not a copy. And this is why you are valuable to him , and h...
