Writing Help > A+ Papers > BOOK REPORT
A book report tells a reader about a particular book. It often gives the writer’s opinion about the book.
To write a book report, follow the steps below:
Choose a book to write about. You could write about a book in any genre or category: adventure, mystery, fantasy, biography, fiction or nonfiction.
Take notes about the book using an idea organizer.
Write an introductory paragraph. You may want to start with a question to get your reader interested. Be sure to include the title and author of the book and let the reader know what type of story it is: funny, exciting, scary or sad.
Write a title. The title could include the name of the book.
Write a paragraph summarizing the plot. Be sure to give the names of the main characters and tell a little about them. You could explain the problem they face in the book and what they are doing to overcome it. Be careful not to give away the ending!
Write a paragraph that gives the reader your opinion of the book. Here you might want to write about your favorite part or what you learned.
Write a conclusion that lets the reader know if you recommend this book. Tell the reader why he or she should or should not read this book.
Once you have finished your paper, be sure to review your writing.
