What is a "book review"?
A book review is a critical assessment of a book that provides an overview of its content, themes, and style. It usually includes a summary of the book's plot or main arguments, an evaluation of the author's writing and approach, and a discussion of the book's strengths and weaknesses. Book reviews aim to offer readers insights into the book's quality and relevance, helping them decide whether to read it. Reviews may also consider the book's impact, its place within its genre, and its contribution to literature or its field.
