Homework Help: How To Write A Book Review

Your education matters and you should never let anyone make you believe otherwise. Of course, it may not land you that CEO job and it may not land you any job for that matter (or at least not right away), but the truth is that educated people still have a much larger chance of making something out of their lives than uneducated ones. In the end, it will all come down to how you feel like, but a diploma can definitely make a difference as well.

Homework is part of your education, whether you like it or not. Regardless of whether you are in high school or in college, writing a book review will most likely be among your most commonly encountered assignments. Sometimes though, even if you do like reading and if you do like the subjects requesting this type of assignments, you may not fully understand what it truly means to actually write a good book review. If that is so, then read on and follow the next tips because they will very likely be quite useful.

  1. A book review is personal and it should be a personal opinion on a particular book. Your opinion does not necessarily have to be good though!
  2. Regardless of what your opinion is when it comes to a book, always make sure to bring arguments to describe and sustain why you believe in a certain idea. This shows your teacher that you have actually read and understood the book and that you can have a clear view on what the book represents for you.
  3. If you want to write a credible review of any kind (be it book review or gadget review), you will have to make sure that you insert at least a small opinion that opposes your own opinion. This will be extremely important if you want to look reliable in the eyes of your readers.
  4. Make sure you do not get too sentimental about a book review. Connect the ideas you have picked up from that book to a larger context and be as professional as possible when actually reviewing the book.
  5. Always remember to structure your book review properly. The first paragraph usually contains an idea that is strongly impregnated with your opinion on a book, while the rest of them sustain that same idea. The paragraph before the conclusion can be the one which shows the opposite opinion.
