Book review
A book review is a form of literary criticism in which a book is analyzed based on content, style, and merit. A book review can be a primary source opinion piece, summary review or scholarly review.
Books can be reviewed for printed periodicals, magazines and
newspapers, as school work, or for book web sites 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 on the basis of personal taste.
Reviewers may 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.
There are many special journals devoted to book reviews and they are indexed in special databases such as Book Review Index, and Kirkus Reviews but many more book reviews can be found in newspaper databases and in scholarly databases such as Arts and Humanities Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index and discipline-specific databases.
