How To Write A Good Book Review

How to write a good book review Only 1,404 words long ========== Doz en Donuts ========== I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those writers to have written so many tidy reviews that have just fallen short of me falling asleep. So now I've learnt something here; don't read if prone to sleepiness. I blame the 15 a day review churners. The same churners who excel in posting the minimum of word requirement, which brings ones head swaying so close to the key-board that when my eyes open the letter 'Y' startles me. It is like as if any word volume of excess of 160 words will maim the churner for life. It does get to me - My ...  Read the complete review

When you write a book review, you need to remember the audience is usually someone who hasn't read the book and is looking to buy a book. So they want to read a review that can swing their decision, a reviewer needs stick to some simple rules when reviewing books (the same key rule needs to be applied to movie reviews as well) and we'll get on to these a little bit later on. To start any book review talk about the author, be it an auto-biography or a novel, mention the author and what work of theirs might be well known or what they did before writing. This may not seem very smart but if you mention something here it could sow seeds for later on in the review ...  Read the complete review

Where has the time gone? When I first joined Dooyoo I had no idea that I would one day be contemplating my 1000th review, but the time has come so I thought I would mark the occasion with a review centred around my favourite website of all!

You see, as a reviewer you have the power to make or break someone's interest in a book. But to do ...  Read the complete review

Now, i am not an avid reader, but i found myself lost in this book. Unable to stop reading until the early hours when my eyelids got to heavy and i succumbed to exhaustion. This book had me gripped on tenterhooks, every turn of the page unfolding this great, interesting and terrifing story that is Twilight. I only usually read books that i HAVE to such as Jaqueline Wilson. This was simply because i found that i couldn't reach the twentieth page in a book unless i was fully into it. I would used to only read books that have a storyline that would actually happen in real life. And then i found Twilight. I first watched the film, and ...  Read the complete review

You know you have been on dooyoo rather too long when you type in google + the subject you want to write about and your review sits on top of the google pile. That's pretty worrying really as someone may think my speakers corner drivel is important because it's atop that pile! And once you're atop the pile people press the first one and you are always top of the pile, googles biggest glitch. But we are here to talk about how to write a good book review (well we are supposed to) and already certain members are mumbling' yes right, he can't write for toffee in that section! For once I would agree with them. I just struggle with book reviews. That's why there's only eight ...  Read the complete review
