BOOK REVIEWS How to write a book review There are two .docx
BOOK REVIEWS: How to write a book review
There are two approaches to book reviewing:
Descriptive reviews give the essential information about a book. This is done with description and
exposition, by stating the perceived aims and purposes of the author, and by quoting striking passages
from the text.
Critical reviews describe and evaluate the book, in terms of accepted literary and historical standards,
and supports this evaluation with evidence from the text. The following pointers are meant to be
suggestions for writing a critical review.
Basic requirements
To write a critical review, the reviewer must know two things:
Knowing the work under review: This demands not only attempting to understand the author's purpose
and how the component parts of the work contribute to that purpose, but also knowledge of the
author: his/her nationality, time period, other works etc.
Requirements of the genre: This means understanding the art form and how it functions. Without such
context, the reviewer has no historical or literary standard upon which to base an evaluation.
Reviewing essentials
Description of the book. Sufficient description should be given so that the reader will have some
understanding of the author's thoughts. This account is not a summary. It can be woven into the critical
remarks.
Discuss the author. Biographical information should be relevant to the subject of the review and
enhance the reader's understanding of the work under discussion.
Appraise the book. A review must be a considered judgment that includes:
a statement of the reviewer's understanding of the author's purpose
how well the reviewer feels the author's purpose has been achieved
evidence to support the reviewer's judgement of the author' achievement.
While you read:
Read the book with care.
Highlight quotable passages.
Note your impressions as you read.
Allow time to assimilate what you read so that the book can be seen in perspective.
Keep in mind the need for a single impression which must be clear to the reader.
The review outline
A review outline gives you an over-all grasp of the organization of the review, to determine the central
point your review will make, to eliminate inessentials or irrelevancies, and to fill in gaps or omissions.
Examine the notes you have made and eliminate those with no relationship to your central
thesis.
By organizing your discussion topics into groups, aspects of the book will emerge: e.g., theme,
character, structure, etc.
Write down all the major headings of the outline and fill in the subdivisions.
All parts should support your thesis or central point.
First draft
Opening paragraphs set the tone of the paper. Possible introductions usually make a statement about
the:
Thesis
Authorial purpose
Topicality of the work or its significance
Comparison of the work to others by the same author or within the same genre.

Fillipus Lineekela essay on the English language in Namibia.
English is Namibia's official language but is only the mother tongue of a few percent of the population. It is used for communication between different language groups. However, many Namibians struggle with English proficiency due to a lack of qualified English teachers and the fact that it is not their first language. While the government aims to introduce English instruction starting in grade 4, high failure rates persist. To improve English abilities, Namibians need programs to promote reading in homes, communities, and schools. Building libraries and making time for reading can help develop stronger English skills.
