Tips In Writing A Good Sci Fi Horror Novel Review

By Estelle Larsen


Everyone who wants to start as a writer can use book reviews as their stepping stone. Those who want to become bloggers can also start out their career by writing reviews for every genre, whether it be love comedy or sci fi horror. In order to make good reviews for the book you have just read, here are the tips that you should take note of.

First, you should provide a synopsis of your review. This means that you have to get the readers acquainted with the basic plot where the story revolves. Do not just copy the teaser of the book, though. You have to make your own. It can be a bit refreshing for those readers who are looking for a good book to enjoy to read on your own synopsis.

If you are writing, you have to be careful on what you reveal. You should not spoil the book for the readers so avoid revealing what the ending would be or what its plot twist is about. You have to let the readers experience the thrill of the store themselves. Thus, you have to limit the things you reveal.

Every story has key characters. You have to talk about them when you are writing the review. For the key characters, you have to give them a run down regarding their motivations in the story, their unique quirks, as well as the importance they have in the story. The review will be made interesting if you work out their connections too.

The book should have an importance in the literary art world. It can be that this book has something to say about the current society or that it picks on the human conditions. If you find these hidden meanings, then you should learn how to break them down for the sake of the readers who are interested in reading the said book.

You should maintain balance in your reviews. Being overly negative or overly positive will just put a bad impression on the readers. If you write in too much negativity in your reviews, then the readers will think that you are bashing the writer. If it is too positive, this might give off a sense of bias.

Questions are highly appreciated. You should learn to ask and use questions to add a zest of fun into one's reviews. You can use the questions to get into those things that are nagging the readers at the back of their mind. If you point them out properly, then that would make your reviews more fun.

Links are important so give a few for the readers to click on. These links are places where the readers can get more information about the book. It might be a link to the author's website or to a website that sells the said book. Just make sure that the links you include in the reviews are relevant.

Bring in your unique flair. Every writer is unique from the other. A writer has to set himself or herself apart from the others so that he or she can gain a following. If you have a unique flair, then do not hesitate to bring that into your reviews.
