Class this is a simplified version on how to write a book review compared to my last post on writing a book review. Please go through before writing your reviews.

I. Introduction Paragraph: This should include the title of the book (underlined),
the author’s name, the type of book and a brief introduction to the book in
general so as to grip the reader’s attention.
II. Body: You have to explain what the book is about and then write your opinion
about the book and how successful it is. Explain the author’s purpose on the main
themes of the book. DO NOT WRITE IN THE FIRST PERSON. 
For Fiction: Briefly describe the main setting, the point of view from which the
story is being told, and a brief overview of the main characters of the story. Then
focus on one main character in the story and explain that characters personality,
physical attributes, and how the story is developed through this character. Next,
give a plot summary along with a sequence of events that took place in the
narrative, which includes the climax and resolution of the story.
For Non Fiction: Give a general overview of the author’s topic, main points and
arguments. Write what the book is focusing on and the important conclusion. III. Analysis and Evaluation: Analyze and critique (review and evaluate) the book.
Consider the following questions that will help in doing this:
For Fiction: 
1. Did the author achieve his or her purpose?
2. Is the writing effective, powerful, difficult, beautiful, and gripping?
3. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the book? (Style of writing,
clear or confusing, order of events, depiction of characters, etc.)
For Non Fiction: 
1. What are the author’s qualifications to write about the subject?
2. Do you agree with the author’s arguments and conclusions?
3. Your overall response to the book (do not write in first person). Did
you find the book interesting, moving, dull…?
4. Would you recommend it to others? Why or why not?
IV. Conclusion: Briefly conclude by wrapping up your thoughts together. You may say what an impression the book left with you, or emphasize what you want your reader to know about it.
