Note on Book Reviews A book review is not a book report. It is much more. A good book review sets out the background and context of the book, summarizes it, and assesses it. A good book review answers the questions: 1. Where does this book fit into the grand scheme of things? 2. What does it add or contribute to the area? 3. Is it worth reading? For whom, and why? The first step in composing the review is to identify your intended audience. If you are writing the book review for presentation in a college course, the primary audience will be your classmates. The second step in composing the review is to identify the context. If you are writing the book review for presentation in a college course, the context will normally be the course topics – that is, you will need to say how this book relates to what you learned in the course. The third step is to do a little research on the background of the book: skim reviews of the author’s previous books; skim summaries of related books, etc. You can identify relevant previous work by looking at the bibliography, using Google or Wikipedia, or by consulting with your professor. The fourth step is to summarize the book’s main points and perhaps to say a little about the author’s use of evidence and reasoning in support of his theses. The final step is to assess the book and say who (if anyone) would find it valuable to read the entire book. It is often a good idea to skim the book first and read any previous reviews of it. This familiarizes you with the context and background, and prepares you for giving the book a close, critical reading. After reading the book, it may be useful to outline it, and then you can begin to identify its contributions and make assessments. Working from this, you can compose a rough draft of your review; the rough draft will typically be 2 to 3 times as long as the finished review. Some examples of professional-quality book reviews are given below (click on the icons to open the document). The reviews from The Economist are short reviews aimed at a general readership. The review of Page (2007) is a much longer review aimed at a readership of professional economists. Reviews written for a college course will usually fall somewhere in between these two types of review in both length and sophistication.
