How to write a brilliant book review!
Whether you are writing a review, or recording one, VICTA has some handy tips to help you:
- Start by describing what the book is about – without revealing any spoilers! What genre is the book; sci-fi, adventure or maybe historical? Is it fiction, or non-fiction?
- What did you particularly like about the book? Who was your favourite character, and why? Did you struggle to put the book down or stop listening?
- Was there anything that you disliked about the book? Was the ending frustrating? Did you find it hard to continue reading?
- Would you recommend this book to others? If so, who would you recommend reads it?
- Out of 5 stars, what would you give the book, and why?
