How To Write A Sci Fi Horror Book Review

By Estelle Larsen


People who have a desire to write should consider writing a book review. These are write ups that other individuals will want to read to help them decide what book they will borrow from the library or buy from the bookstore. If you do a review, you can write in specific genre such as sci fi horror and the likes. Here are tips that will allow you to write a good review.

First, you should provide a synopsis of your review. This means that you have to get the readers acquainted with the basic plot where the story revolves. Do not just copy the teaser of the book, though. You have to make your own. It can be a bit refreshing for those readers who are looking for a good book to enjoy to read on your own synopsis.

When writing the review, decide what is okay to reveal and what is not. Avoid spoiling the excitement for your readers by giving away the book's ending. You have to be careful that you do not end up divulging all details that will make every reader excited when reading the book.

Every story has key characters. You have to talk about them when you are writing the review. For the key characters, you have to give them a run down regarding their motivations in the story, their unique quirks, as well as the importance they have in the story. The review will be made interesting if you work out their connections too.

Every book has their own significance in the literary world. If you are writing the review, then you should be aware of what the book's significance is. It can be that there is a deeper meaning to the story and you have to break it down to the readers. It can be about the society or it can be about current human conditions.

Balance things out when you are writing the review. You should not be overly negative because others might just see that as bashing. Avoid being overly positive too because the readers might think of it as a bias toward the author of the book. Maintain your balance.

Questions can also be used in the said reviews. You should consider asking questions that are relevant to the story. You simply have to watch those things that can pique the interest of the readers and convert them into questions. When you do that, you will get the readers more interested in the book you are writing a review for.

Links are important so give a few for the readers to click on. These links are places where the readers can get more information about the book. It might be a link to the author's website or to a website that sells the said book. Just make sure that the links you include in the reviews are relevant.

Bring in your unique flair. Every writer is unique from the other. A writer has to set himself or herself apart from the others so that he or she can gain a following. If you have a unique flair, then do not hesitate to bring that into your reviews.
