HOW TO WRITE A BOOK REVIEW Useful tips

Parts: Introduction Body: Theme Setting Plot Characters Conclusion: Your opinion

InTRODUCTION The title (underlined) and author of the book Why you chose the book (in your case… you didn’t) What kind of story is it? (adventure? family? fantasy/make believe? animal? true life? scary?)

BOdy In this section you want to describe the main parts of a story: Theme: main idea of the story. Setting: is the time and place of the story. Plot: what happens? What is the main event? (Avoid telling the end) Characters: who the story is about? Main character, other important characters of the story (do they help the main one?)

CONCLUSION Once you have summarized the book, you can tell what you think about it. Did you like the story? Why or why not? What was the best part? Why? Would you recommend it?
