Tips on writing a book review
Published
Skim the first few pages to find the date the book was published.
Pages
You don't have to count them! Just look at the number on the final page.
The story
This is WHAT happens. To help you think about the main events, first draw a time line with the beginning scene of the book at the top of a piece of paper and the final scene at the bottom.
E.g. Write "Harry starts at Hogwarts" at the top and "Harry defeats Voldemort" at the bottom.
You can also write a sentence about WHERE and WHEN the story takes place. E.g. At Hogwarts school of wizardry in the present day.
The characters
Or WHO is in the book. To help you describe the characters, first jot down these details:
Name of character
Role
Adjective to describe them
For example:
Harry Potter
Schoolboy wizard
Brave
Highlights
This is where you describe your favourite part of the book. Was there a particular piece of action, description or characters' speech you really enjoyed?
Any weak bits?
Were there any chapters where you found yourself wishing for some action to liven up the plot? Any unrealistic characters? Any descriptions or chapters that you felt were rubbish?
Unputdownable? (=que no se puede parar de leer)
Did you grab the book whenever you had a spare moment? Did you read it rather than playing computer games or watching TV? Or did you read the first chapter before letting it gather dust on your bookshelf?
This is only an example of a book review:
The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾ is an unabashed, pimples-and-all glimpse into the troubled life of anadolescent. Writing candidly abouthis parents’ marital troubles, the dog, his life as a tortured poet and ‘misunderstood intellectual’, teenager Adrian Mole’s painfully honest diary makes hilarious and compelling reading.

Adrian entries are full of humour, sarcasm and irony, they still speak to a great deal of confession and disillusionment with the dysfunctional relationship of his parents. Adrian has a tendency to look at all problems from a selfish point of view, yet he seems to have a real compassion for the members of his famliy (page 10)
