The
book review (or
book report) is a form of
literary criticism carried out in periodicals, as school work, and now online. It may be in length from a single paragraph, up to a substantial
essay. Book reviews are generally supposed to be evaluations of the book, if only on the basis of personal taste. Reviewers, in literary periodicals, often use the occasion of a book review for a display of learning or to promulgate their own ideas on the topic of a fiction or non-fiction work. At the other end of the spectrum, some book reviews resemble simple plot summaries.
