= Writing Book Reviews = You may want to think about the following to help you write your book review:


 * Characters:** To get an overall picture of a character you could think about their actions, their conversation, what they think about the other characters in the book, or the part they play in the story. Were there any characters with whom you identify?


 * Style:** Which genre is the book written in? For example: Horror, Thriller, Mystery, Fantasy, Adventure. Did the story draw you in? For instance, if a section of the story was especially happy, did you feel this?


 * Plot:** The stories are different, but were the plots well constructed. Was the direction of the story easy to follow or were there too many sub-plots within the story? Were there any loose ends? Were you pleased with the ending, did it make sense, or would you have liked to have seen a different ending?


 * Overall:** Did you enjoy the story? Say why you did or did not. Is it the type of book you would normally read? Would you recommend the book to other readers?
