 "A book
review is
a form of literary
criticism in
which a book is merely described (summary
review) or analyzed based on content, style,
and merit. A book review may be a primary
source, an opinion piece, a summary
review, or a scholarly view. Books
can be reviewed for printed periodicals,
magazines, and newspapers, as school work,
or for book websites on the Internet. A book
review's length may vary from a single
paragraph to a substantial essay.
Such a review may
evaluate the book based on personal taste.
Reviewers may use the occasion of a book
review for an extended essay that can be
closely or loosely related to the subject of
the book, or to promulgate their ideas on
the topic of a fiction or non-fiction work."
