A Few Guidelines on Writing Book Reports, from a teacher<\/p>\n

You might have noticed two words that must be defined, these are review and report. That is, a book review and a book report are different, even though many confuse the two. Ask your teacher for clarification if you are not sure whether the project calls for a review or a report:<\/p>\n

A book report typically contains actual elements and characteristics of the book, the author’s name, the title, genre (type or category book fits in), publication information, and what Sova and Teitelbaum call the “conditions under which the book was published” (how, why, etc.), and a summary of the book. The book report is, in essence, the factual information without any opinion.<\/p>\n

A book review does have an opinion included, as well as some information about the book that people who have not read it would appreciate knowing.<\/p>\n
