Some readers have asked me how to write a book review. I can’t tell you what to say, but I can give you pointers on the dos and don’ts so that you can help your favorite authors get more sales. (Because reviews help sell books.)

Dos for writing book reviews

  • Write more than one sentence
  • Be honest

Talking Points

  • Did something surprise you in the book?
  • What did you like best about the book?
  • How did that book relate to your life?
  • Can you compare or contrast this book against another similar book?
  • What was the plot?

Don’ts for writing a book review

  • Don’t say “Couldn’t put it down” unless you add in why you couldn’t put it down.
  • Don’t share any spoilers
