Steps

Method 1 of 1: How to write your own review

1. 1 Read the chapter of the book.
2. 2 Retell what you read in your own words. Just talk to yourself as if you were telling your friend about it.
3. 3 Describe how you feel about storytelling events?
4. 4 If you were asked to write a review at school, stick to the topic your teacher gave you.
5. 5 Start writing. Write down your thoughts from steps two and three.
6. 6 What to look for:
   • Emotions - Why did this chapter make you feel anxious?
   • Characters - who is involved and why?
   • Speech style - what is so special about the author's choice of words? What literary techniques did the author use, and how did they influence your perception of the plot, characters, scenes?
   • What else did you find interesting? What discouraged you? What didn't you like?
7. 7 If you were asked to write a review at school, re-read your work after completion. Ask someone to check your essay for errors.
8. 8 When you've read the book to the end, write a review about it.

Tips

• Write not only about the events, but also about the experiences of the characters.
• If you are typing a review on a computer, turn off the Internet and do not be distracted by entertainment.
• Don't try to write a review of large portions of the book. Better to read one small chapter or half of a large chapter and write a review about it.
• Work in a quiet environment without external distractions.
• To get ready to write, practice freewriting, brainstorming, or mind mapping. These techniques will help you collect your thoughts.
• Take notes and use markers to highlight what's important.

Warnings

• If you are doing a school assignment, be sure to include the topic in the text.
