Carol: Below is an outline I have used for some years. It seems to work well.
Book Review Outline for Psych 4113 * Give full information about the book including title, author, publisher, date of publication, number of pages and cost. * Provide some biographical information about the author. Some information of this sort is included on the cover of the book. An Internet search using any of the major search engines will yield a little more additional information. * Discuss the background of the book. Why did the author decide to write this book? Information about this can be found in the preface and introduction to the book. Much useful information of this sort can also be found in other reviews of the book that can be located on the Internet or in libraries. Do not copy from these reviews for your paper. Your review should be your own creation. * Briefly summarize the main points that the author presents in the book. * Evaluate and critique the author's points. Here you may agree or disagree with the author. Either is fine as long as you clearly present your reasons. * Briefly react to the book. Did you like it? What did you learn from the book? How did the concepts in the book contribute to your education and personal development? Best Wishes.
