It seems a little funny writing a book review on a book about how to write a book review, but that's what I'm doing. I should start by saying I wish I'd read this before I ever wrote my first review. It's a great resource! I would recommend this book to both old and new reviewers. Rebecca takes you through a step by step process on what to include, what not to include, and how to say it without stepping on any toes. For the most part, as book reviewers, we're here to share our love of books, and those wonderful authors that put their heart into them. We aren't doing that if we're attacking an author.Rebecca pointed out several things I had never thought about, and others that seemed like common sense, but I know are still missing in many reviews. She takes you through reviewing the different elements of a story, giving little tricks to help you out when it's time to write your review. The book is a very easy read, and not something that will bore you to death reading. Every topic was presented in a very clear manner, and it never left me confused. The only topic that I wish she would have gone more indepth with was style. All the other topics were addressed thoroughly. Sometimes so thoroughly that I felt like there was a little too much repetition.I especially liked that she covered topics such as writing a review on non-fiction, since this is afterall, my first review of a non-fiction work. I couldn't stress enough how helpful this book is. I will use it as a guide for all future reviews. I give it a rating of a strong 4 stars!! I sincerely recommend it to ALL book reviewers out there!!*I recieved a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.*
