Simple Book Review Advice
An academic book review needs to do three things in approximately 1500 - 2000 words
1) Introduce the subject of the book and identify the book’s thesis in the first paragraph (this is the argument about the data--with a biography, for example, it might simply be
that the artist’s work is shaped by life circumstances. If you’re unsure of what a thesis is, consult me or another faculty member you know
.
2) Summarize the book’s contents in the middle 2/3 of the review (around 800-1000 words, covering the entirety of
the book’s data)
3) Conclude with an evaluation of the book, stating positive
accomplishments of the book and suggestions for helpful information.
Simple Tips
1) Don’t say things like “the book’s too wordy”--all these books have gone through substantial editing and simply reflect the discursive conventions of their field.
2) Make a chapter-by-chapter outline as you read, making sure you note the basic data covered in each chapter and how it relates to the overall book
.
3) Do not turn in a final draft full of spelling and grammar errors. This makes it seem like you have no idea what you’re talking about--no professor will take your work seriously.
