People are always asking us at the Warren County Memorial Library for suggestion on what to read. Our Patrons want to know what’s hot and what’s not.. Here is your chance to help us out, and even the world, by telling us what you think about the books you have read. Your reviews are so important that we are building a whole new blog just for your reviews. We want to give special exposure to your opinions both good and not so good. The reviews should be no less than 75 words and no more than 150. Go ahead, express yourself !
The Warren County Memorial Library reserves the right to decline to publish any and all book reviews for reasons of inappropriate language or theme
- Make sure your review explains how you feel about the book and why, not just what
the book is about. A good review should express the reviewer's opinion and persuade
the reader to share it, to read the book, or to avoid reading it.
- Before you begin writing, make a few notes about the points you want to get across.
- While you're writing, try thinking of your reader as a friend to whom you're telling a story.
- Try to mention the name of the author and the book title in the first paragraph — there's nothing more frustrating than reading a review of a great book but not knowing who wrote it and what the title is!
- Try to get the main theme of the book across in the beginning of your review. Your reader should know right away what he or she is getting into should they choose to read the book!
- What do you like or dislike about the book's writing style? Is it funny? Does it give you a sense of the place it's set? What is the author's/narrator's "voice" like?
