A good book review will:
- Point out strengths and weaknesses in the book
- Looks at what the author intended to do and whether or not he did it
- Be between 50 and 1,500 words
The following is a guide to writing a book review; but, you need to know that they are just suggestions to think about.
- Write down a summary of essential information, like title, author, copyright date, kind of book, price, subject matter of the book, and special features.
- State the reason the author wrote the book.
- Consider from what point of view the book was written.
- Decide what the author was trying to accomplish.
- Determine what kind of book is it, and who is the intended audience.
- Discuss the author's style of writing and look at his cohesion, clarity, flow of the text, and use of precise words.
- Think about how you were affected by the book and if any of your opinions or feelings change because of it.
- Decide if the book met its goal and whether or not you would recommend it to others and why.
- State the main topic of the book and the author's treatment of it. Also explain the development of the thesis, using quotes or references.
- Discuss the author's descriptions and narration, pointing out whether he explained facts or tried to persuade the readers of the validity of an issue.
- Analyze whether or not the book suited its intended audience and if it was interesting and thorough.
- You may challenge his opinions and explain why you disagree with them. Include any information about the author that would establish his authority or that would be relevant to the review.
The main idea of the paragraph is that women should be credited for much more during the prehistoric times that they are at the moment. We only get the picture of them being rather irrelevant at the time which is obviously not true, based on this excerpt. The paragraph is quite feminist, meaning that it is shedding light on actual history and the role of women in such a society which not much is spoken about in contemporary analyses.
They were the ones who invented gardening, as well as pottery and weaving. The reason why they did this was because they often stayed 'at home' taking care of children, so they had time to do other things as well, while men were out hunting and providing for the family in other ways. Thus we have solid proof that women were far more creative and responsible for various things than they are credited for now.
