On Writing book reviews
I am looking for good references on writing book reviews. For a lark, I did a book review on Amazon about 5 years back and then nothing. In looking at the many genres I have covered since - Science, culture, consciousness, quantum physics, Sci/Fi, Fantasy, psychedelic shamanism, Sufism, Career development, puzzles, comics and whatever else - I feel I owe it to myself to write more reviews. Except, I need to figure out how to make these reviews good within 200 words…..
Not sure if there is one good book or set of books on how to write a good book review. There is a great book on how to write well that might be useful. This one is by Willam Zinsser. Check it out.
Hope this helps.
