Personally, I love writing reviews of any kind mostly because that way I can put all my thoughts about

the subject on the paper. Before we go on, I have to mention it is different when you write a review for

yourself i.e. your blog or website and for your professor in college.

To an untrained eye, reviews may seem pointless. What ’s the point of writing about something when

other people and your professor have already read the book? Isn ’t it enough to talk about it in the c Just as movie reviews develop your critical thinking, book reviews do the same. It is not enough to

read a book and call it a day; you have to establish your opinion, your likes, and dislikes. When a professor

gives you this assignment, he/she wants to see your abilities to analyze the book and use vocabulary skills to

discuss different parts of the plot.

Since we are accustomed to writing book reports at a very young age, it comes as no surprise we don

think book reviews are different than a book report. Contrary to the popular belief, book reviews and book

reports are two different types of writing. Knowing how they differ is essential for writing a high-quality

paper that will guarantee a good grade.

Book reports usually centre around topical details about the author and the plot of the story. On the

other hand, a book review is a more complicated approach to understanding and discussing a book. It

doesn ’t centre around a summary of each section, but you have to carry out a thorough analysis. As you

grow and develop as a student, so does your ability to think critically. You don ’t just sum just read but analyze every piece of the puzzle in order to show the ability not only to pay attention to detail

but also engage thinking critically. Here, you have to be careful that you aren ’t, actually, j story.

While book reviews may contain some elements of book reports e.g. author, characters, plot, the

emphasis is to provide a more detailed insight, go deeper and elaborate strengths and weaknesses of the

book, and discuss the elements of the story.

You know the difference between book reports and book reviews, now what? Now you ’reready to
