Write a book review for me. Here's a how-to list:

1) Introduce Type of Book

Identify the book by author and title.
Include some background and describe the general problem in the book.

2) Briefly Summarize the Story

Briefly review the story line for readers, being careful not to give away anything shocking or important.

3) Include Graphics

Book covers grab your readers’ attention. Show off what the book looks like by including a graphic.
Or, even better, find a graphic that relates to something in the book!

4) Provide Your Reactions to the Book

Describe the book: Is it interesting, memorable, entertaining, or instructive? Why?
Relate the book to larger issues: How did the book affect you? How have your opinions about the topic changed?

5) Be Honest About Your Review

Throughout your book review, it’s important to remain honest. Don’t tell us you loved a book when you really couldn’t stand it just because you think that's what people want to hear.
