• "What is a Good Academic Book Review?"
  A good academic book review summarizes a monograph’s thesis and evaluates its place in the … literature for scholars who have not yet read the work. … As you write a book review, identify the author’s thesis and then note the way in which the author supports his or her argument. What is the structure of the book? Is it a chronological narrative or a thematic treatment? What type of sources does the author use? Do the arguments seem persuasive? Tell your readers what the book does and does not do, and evaluate its effectiveness in meeting its stated goals. Summarize the narrative themes of the book, but do not lose sight of your main argument. A strongly focused book review that makes a coherent argument will probably be a much better essay than one that does not have a central theme. Good organization of your points and a strong writing style are important.  http://www.westga.edu/~dkwillia/HIST%206687%20-%20book%20review%20assignment.htm
  But I also recommend that we use the section on writing book reviews from Nancy Jean Vyhmeister’s book, Quality Research Papers for Students of Religion and Theology, chapter 3, pp. 183-187.
