Thank you for the great article...I am in the middle of reading a book that one of my readers sent me to review.
Thank goodness it is about Baby Boomers!
And even though I have written hoards of book reviews for school and college...I felt that what I needed was something more...plus I have a tendency to get side tracked and I do love a good rant!
There I go...focus, Sharon! LOL
I am going to print out your Web Content Recipe and use it as a guide.
See you in the funny papers...

Rachel, your article was very helpful to me -- and very timely, as I have been planning to add a regular book review feature to my web site and ezine. Now, thanks to you, I have the perfect step-by-step model to follow. I'm sure my readers will benefit; I really appreciate your advice.
BTW, have YOU written a book I can read & review? If not, you should... you're an excellent writer! :-)
I too would like to thank you for a great article, very well written and informative! Your structure for writing a book review make's perfect sense, and could serve as a structure for other types of work like consulting for instance. I think I'm somewhat of a "disorganized reader", and would probably get more lasting, meaningful information from a book if I approached it with the structure you have recommended.
I hope I'm not out of line if I say you are very intelligent/attractive writer!!!

Bob, that's what Post-It notes are for! I find it makes it even easier to find pages than dog-eared corners do...
You really did a good job. It is very informative and revealing.
Thanks a lot as I have been searching for information as this for my book review works.
I hope to implement the contents and pass on the information from you to others.Great work.

Rachelle, I too must thank you. It was a great piece and as mentioned many times over I will also be printing out a copy of the guidelines. Since I listen to books on CD & Mp3, dog earing the pages & using post it notes may be a bit tricky but they sure do paint a interesting picture in my mind. Thanks again.
Critiquing someone else’s work is a real responsibility and you should think carefully about what you want to say. Those reading your review will take action once they’ve read it, either by rushing out to buy the book, or by leaving it on the shelf. So think carefully before you start your review and treat it as considered judgement.
Great article, I always keep myself looking for new tips and ways on how to improve my writing and one of my favorite mentor on learning how to write a book is Mark Victor Hansen, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul.

Rachelle,
Another well written and very helpful article. Well constructed and entertaining.
Now that I'm old and grey I can afford to buy books rather than borrow them from the local Carnegie library.
It is such a joy to annotate and mark those passages that intrigue or interest.
To turn page corners down so you can find key points quickly.
If you really want to understand the topic I heartily recommend you devour a book in this way and bend it ruthlessly to your will.
However be aware it does tend to put a big dunt in the resale value

This is a really good and informative article and very timely for me as I am about to start putting some book reviews together for my blog.
I find reviewing quite a daunting task and this breaks it down nicely into manageable steps - thank you
