Newspapers usually have a panel of specialists who write book reviews. The reviewer must have in depth knowledge of the subject and should be able to assess the book in terms of its impact on the reader
The main task of the reviewer is to report of the content, the approach and the scope of the work for the benefit of the readers. The book review should contain a brief description of the book and a short account of the author. The book review should tell the reader whether a book is worth reading and the review should be unbiased. An ideal review should give an overview of the book to the readers and an evaluation based on the readers taste and experience.
The opening paragraph of the Book review should grab audience attention. The passage can be conversational in tone.
It can be slightly provocative to compel the reader to read. The body of the review is a series of short paragraphs on the book and author.
The total review should be 500 to 1,000 words.
Full bibliographic details of the work should be included like
(a) Title and Sub Title.
(b) Place of publication
(c) Publisher
(d) Date of publication
