Tips In Writing Sci Fi Horror Book Reviews

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.

If you are writing, you have to be careful on what you reveal. You should not spoil the book for the readers so avoid revealing what the ending would be or what its plot twist is about. You have to let the readers experience the thrill of the store themselves. Thus, you have to limit the things you reveal.

The key characters, as the name suggests, are keys to the book. Thus, you got to pay attention to them. Make sure to give them a thorough run down, especially on what role they play. Break into their motivations, their importance to this story, and even their unique quirks. Mention their connection to each other too.

The book should have an importance in the literary art world. It can be that this book has something to say about the current society or that it picks on the human conditions. If you find these hidden meanings, then you should learn how to break them down for the sake of the readers who are interested in reading the said book.

You should maintain balance in your reviews. Being overly negative or overly positive will just put a bad impression on the readers. If you write in too much negativity in your reviews, then the readers will think that you are bashing the writer. If it is too positive, this might give off a sense of 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.

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.

Every writer has his or her own unique flair. You have to capitalize on your own flair to set you apart from the other writers. It should be easier to make the review more distinct and credible when you bring in your own flair into the reviews you write.
