Book Review

A book review is a detailed description, critical analysis, and/or assessment of a book's quality, meaning, and relevance, generally based on earlier research on the subject. Reviews are typically 500-2000 words long, however they can be longer or shorter depending on the length and complexity of the book being evaluated, the review's overall goal, and whether the review examines two or more books on the same topic. Professors give book evaluations as practise in critically reading complicated scholarly materials and to test your abilities to properly synthesis research in order to develop an informed stance on the topic.

There are two basic techniques to writing a book review:

Descriptive review: conveys crucial information about a book's goal and authority while presenting the substance and organisation of the book as objectively as possible. This is accomplished by outlining the study's anticipated goals and objectives, and frequently integrating excerpts from the book that highlight crucial aspects of the work. There may also be some indication of the expected audience and reading level.
Critical review: describes and analyses the book in light of established literary and historical criteria, based on evidence from the text and, in most cases, in comparison to and contrast with other people's study.
