–A book review is an essay whose purpose is to comment on a particular work or a series of works bearing upon a single subject or related subjects. The most important element about a book review is that it is a commentary, not merely a summary. You should devote relatively little space to surveying the contents. Simply present a brief outline or synopsis, indicating the general topic, the chronological scope and the major emphasis of the book. The bulk of your review, therefore, should concentrate on your evaluation of the way the author handled the issues discussed. What is (are) the overall thesis(es)–the points of view or conclusion? How does the author organize the book? How does the author use evidences to demonstrate, support, and elaborate his arguments? How does the book challenge your old assumptions of the subject matter? What are the author’s values in the book? In other words, you are writing the review to let your readers know about this book. You are not required to read the entire book. You major job is to comment on the structure, major arguments, and the scope of the book.
