- Body(describe, analyze, and evaluate the book)
Paragraph order
1). Thematic
If you are tasked with relating a book to course themes, use these themes to structure your review.
You can devote each section of the body to one theme.
Use topic sentences and transitions to show your reader when you are moving from one theme to the next.
This structure can help you discuss the author’s engagement with a set of issues.
2). Chronological
The structure of your review can mirror the structure of the book itself.
You can discuss topics in the same order as the author, providing an evaluation that moves from chapter to chapter or section to section.
This structure can help you emphasize the thoroughness of your review.
3). Evaluative
Many published academic reviews begin by highlighting the strengths of the book under discussion and then move toward a critique of the weaknesses.
This structure can help you assert your own critical voice as a scholar.
