Understanding the difference between the different types of academic writing projects will help you in performing well in these assessments. You should use the given guidelines or instructions for the purpose of understanding the given assignment.

Many students confuse between a book report and a book review, even though the difference is quite evident from the names itself. A book review is where you read a book and convey your opinion of the book. It could include the positive as well as the negative aspects you find in the book. But while writing a book report you will be focusing on reporting the book as you have understood it.

You should keep it in mind while writing the report, that you are not there to criticize the book. You are merely conveying to the reader what you have understood about the book and the contents as you have seen it. You may write it in your own words and offer your opinion in a non-critical manner.

This particular type of project is easier compared to a research paper or a term paper because of the fact that you have to read and understand only one particular book. You will not have to spend hours searching for information amongst thick volumes of books, nor will you have to prove any point. Hence, with a little effort on your part, you can make a very good job of writing a book report.

Read the book twice, at the very least, in order to make sure that you have not forgotten to include any important points. After the first reading, prepare an outline with what you have understood. Then read it a second time and while at it, add the missing points to your outline as and when you find them. That way you can be sure of not having forgotten to mention any important part of the book in your report.

Once you have a complete outline, develop it into a rough draft. This rough draft can later be edited into a final draft. While editing the rough draft, cut it into the right size and make sure that you don’t delete any important portion of your report. Since it is a comparatively easy assignment, students tend to keep it for the last minute. This will not work though. A quick reading will not be enough for you to grasp the essence of the book. And relying on the articles written on the book by others and rewriting it in your own words also will not make your book report look impressive. To understand the book, you will have to read it yourself and write the report from your own point of view. Any professor can spot a paper which is just a reworded form of some other article.

Also remember to proof read your paper before submitting it. Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors and bad structure can make it difficult for the reader to follow what you are trying to convey. It will also make it look like you are not capable of handling even a simple assignment such as a book report.

It gives a bird’s eye view of the main novel and the idea of what to expect from this review.

The primary work here is to first select the novel of essay that you want to review. Always try to choose a novel which you like and you have a fair bit of idea about the author and the background of the novel. If you choose something which is very unfamiliar to you then you have to work a lot to first read between the lines of the novel. Then you need to do a lot of background study.

Though these steps are essential in case of every novel or essay writing but it becomes easier when you deal with any familiar novel. So if you have the opportunity to choose it is always better to play safe. On the other hand, it is not a good idea to choose any novel where a lot of work has already been done by the others. Then it will be hard for you to contribute any thing new in the existing capacity.

The essay introduction has a lot of importance in the overall report. It is the first interaction of your writing with the reader. So if it’s not well written he may never be interested in reading your full report. So this section of the total writing should be written in a persuading and interesting manner. The technical jargons should be avoided as far as possible so it becomes appreciable to the majority of the readers. The language needs to be simple English that is comprehensible to most of the readers rather than flowery language.

It must have the ability to catch the attention and arouse interest in the mind of the readers. This is the first chance to impress the readers and it should not be wasted.

This section usually contains different important information. The information like the title of the book, brief history of the author and the brief discussion about the main theme are included in this section. The main idea about the novel is also included here.

The thesis statement is included here. This statement is the main idea of the paper essay and this is written in one or two sentences and it generally comes at the end of the first paragraph.

The main body of the report discusses in details about the different views of the novel and analyzes the novel from as many different angles as possible. This is the main section of the overall writing and it should be dealt with very carefully. The analysis is the final part and it gives a summarized view of the whole discussion.

Introduction of a book report gives a preliminary view of the main novel, its theme and the main idea. It is one of the most important section and you need to do a lot of background study about the concerned novel to write this section in a proper manner.
