This is an era of universal reading, this is an era of paid knowledge, this is an era of information explosion. In the good and the era of fast rhythm, people read simply to enjoy a happy while reading, and someone to read when they saw the text can be changed into the prospect of money, and they have also embark on a journey of text to liquidate, by writing book reviews to achieve the financial freedom, became the school to make money, to the free man grizzled troubadour. There are many ways to monetize a book you read, and one of them is to review it. So the question is, what is a book review? What is the premise of writing a book review? Is it useful to write book reviews?

What is a book review? As the name suggests, a book review is an article in which you review a book and introduce it to others after you have finished reading it. The object of book review is "book". The author of book review needs to analyze the form and content of the book in a realistic and knowledgeable way, and explore the intellectual, academic, intellectual and artistic nature of the author's creation of a book, so as to build a bridge of information exchange between the author, readers and publishers. The book review is not prose, nor is it novel, nor is it poetry. It is an applied style and an important style of essay writing. What should I prepare before writing a book review?

Book review is the evaluation and introduction of books. When we get a book, the intuitive feeling is the evaluation of the printing quality and the exquisite degree of binding of the book. Whether it is good or not is the intuitive feeling. Therefore, the premise of writing a book review is to read, not only read, but also read purposefully, take notes, add remarks, and from time to time comment on the book, which is a good foundation for writing a book review after reading. There are many ways to read, such as inspection reading, thematic reading, intensive reading and so on. What does a book review do? The audience of book reviews is the reader.

A good book review, first of all should have the information function, readers through reading the book rated their choice of books to provide the necessary reference. Therefore, a book review requires that the basic content of the book be introduced to the reader. Such as the book yesterday's introduction, content summary and so on. Secondly, a good book review has a kind of intermediary function, that is, let the reader before reading the book, make a psychological preparation, so as to have a specific point in the process of reading, where the need for intensive reading, where just a general understanding. Therefore, the book review is required to point out the essence of the book. For example, in the book "Lifelong Growth", what kinds of thoughts do people have? What is a growth mindset? What is fixed thinking? What role do these two kinds of thinking play in the development of human beings? These are the key points of the book that need to be addressed in the review.

Finally, as a book review, it also has a guided reading function. A good book review, on the one hand, can provide some reference for readers to judge the value of the books they read, on the other hand is to recommend some excellent books to readers. Therefore, a book review can help readers accurately reflect the content of the book and select the books they need to read in a wide variety of publications.
