how to write a book report
a brief account of the author’s life should be given together with a description of his times. the latter should include the circumstances that led to the writing of the book under discussion and the historical and social background related to the content of the book. to make these things clear, the writer perhaps needs to read some reference material, such as biographies of the author and histories of the period described in the book.
example, the past tense should be used for a history, and the present for a scientific work.

3. you should follow the logical order of the original passage. ideas and facts need not be rearranged.
