Avoid using “I” as in “I thought the author did a great job supporting his thesis.”
Book reviews should be between 800-1000 words not including the bibliographic information block on the top of the page. Concentrate on the main arguments and analysis of the book—what you think someone could learn from it and why it is important. I am not looking for a summary of the book’s topic but am much more interested inhow the author chose to approach the topic. Who is the intended audience of the book, and does it meet their needs well? Do not be afraid to critique the areas of the book that you think stray outside the author’s boundaries or simply do not work.
