Suggestions for a Book Review

Writing a book review:

Begin with the book title and author.  Think about what you have read.

Try to answer some of these questions in whole sentences:

What was the book about? Try to describe it in a couple of sentences without giving away the ending.

What was your favourite part of the story?  Why did you like it?

Who is/are the main characters?  Tell us something about them. What happens to them in the story?

What sort of book was it?

Did you like the book? Why or why not?  What was good about it? Did any parts make you laugh? Which ones? Did you feel as if you were looking through the main character’s eyes?

Who would enjoy this book?
