What to include in a Review
:

  1. What is the story about in a sentence or two? Don’t write spoilers, though. Ex. A frog eats the main character.
  2. What is the spirit or tone of the book, action oriented, sweet, romantic, scary, etc.? Ex. This is a high action adventure for the young and old.
  3. What is the pacing? Ex. This fast-paced book starts with a crisis and takes off, or the digressions slowed the pace and I got bored.
  4. Are the characters credible? Do you feel empathy for any of them? Ex. I so felt the camaraderie between the two friends, lovers, etc. from my own life experiences. This is a challenge in fantasy, but the author pulls it off and makes the story so real.
  5. What is the quality of the writing? Ex. This story was well written drawing me into the experience. It was rather free of grammar and spelling errors that can distract from the story.
  6. Did you enjoy the story?
  7. Will you recommend the book to others?
