Tips In Writing Sci Fi Horror Book Reviews

By Estelle Larsen


Everyone who wants to start as a writer can use book reviews as their stepping stone. Those who want to become bloggers can also start out their career by writing reviews for every genre, whether it be love comedy or sci fi horror. In order to make good reviews for the book you have just read, here are the tips that you should take note of.

First, it is vital that you write a good synopsis of the review you are making. Do not just copy and paste the teaser that you can find at the back of the novel. It is preferable for you to make your own teaser. The synopsis does not have to be detailed. It should just contain the information on the book's basic plot.

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.

It will help if you can keep your balance when you are reviewing. Avoid being overly negative or exaggeratedly positive when you are writing the review. Such reviews such. If you bash the writer of the story, you will just come off as a villain. If you are to enthusiastic about it, it can mean bias.

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.

Provide a few links to offer the readers an opportunity to learn more about the said story. It can be a link to the ebook of the story, to the author's site, or to a site selling the said book. If you include a link, the basic rule you have to follow is that it should be working and that it is relevant.

Having your own quirks and flair in your writing is good. It will allow you to write a review that is distinctively yours. You can then set yourself apart from others. Your review will be more memorable if you add your own flavor into it.
