Help with your review:
Only a part of the review should be a synopsis of the story — the Reader can find all that out by reading a cover blurb or excerpt. Your job as a reviewer is the review the story.
- How was the character development? Talk about it.
- How did you relate to the characters? Why?
- Was the language believable? Why?
- Was the story believable? Why?
Saying “you will enjoy this book” and not backing up why isn’t a review, it is just a statement. Explain why the reader may or may not like the story.
Structure
We do not tell our reviewers what to rate a book and encourage creative expression. As long as it is professional and not a personal attack. We do have a main structure that we require for all reviews. Please prepare your review as follows:
- 1st Paragraph – Character Development of one of the main Characters of the book
- 2nd Paragraph – Character Development of one of the main Characters of the book that you did not discuss in the first paragraph
- 3rd Paragraph – Plot or Story line development of the book with OUT giving away any important or cliff hanger portions of the book.
- 4th Paragraph – Your opinion of the story overall and why you rated it what you did. This should be at least 4-7 sentences.
At the bottom of your review, please use the following signature block (with your own name):
Your Reviewer’s Name (first name only)
