A book review is a description, analysis, and an evaluation on the quality, meaning, and significance of a book, not a retelling or summary.
It should focus on the book's purpose, content, and authority. It is a reaction paper in which strengths and weaknesses of the material are analyzed.
Need more help? Librarians are usually available for research help on weekdays during the academic year, from 9am - 12pm, 1pm - 4 pm, and 6pm - 9 pm.
