I read a lot, and I write a lot, so I though to myself, “Why not write about what I read?” That is why I write so many book reviews. In my book reviews, I write about what happens in the book, being careful not to ruin the story. Then I have an ending paragraph, in which I rate the book. I rate good books “G”, which means “Good”. I rate books “LG” when I think they are “Less Good”. I don’t write about or read bad books, but if I ever rated one, I would rate it with a “B”, for “Bad”. PG is parental guidance, and PG-13 is parental guidance but book really for teens. If I don’t rate a book, I will give a paragraph explaining things about the book so that my readers can decide for themselves how to rate it. I also have an award called the Oldberry Award (see featured image). I give out an award a month. I have symbol for awarded books. I hope my book reviews are helpful.
Here is an example of a story review. Just pretend the following is a book.
The Historically Inaccurate Retelling of the Tale of the Magnacarta
There was once a man named Carta. Yes, that was the man’s name. He ain’t not alive no more. Why? I will tell you. He died. He died of magma. No one knows the details of his death. But everyone knows, or at least should know, that this man died of magma. You see, he loved exploring valcanoes. He must’ve been around too much hardened magma. You know how sometimes, if someone eats too much fish, they will turn into a fish? Some say that that was what happened to him. But it cannot be proven, so it is just a theory. Other people say that he got hardened magma dust in his lungs, and died of it. But that is also just a theory. This what if thing can go on and on. This can be scientifically proven. Carta’s neighbors wrote a long epic about what could have happened. All of the sentences start with what if. This long epic is as boring to read as the hundred page direction manual that comes with a pressure cooker. The pressure cooker is dangerous to use if not handled correctly. The epic is dangerous to read because you can easily get bored to death. The authors of the epic named it the Magnacarta. But it is more commonly known as The Epic of Carta. So there you have it. In just three hundred and twenty words I have told you the story of the Magnacarta.
Here is my review:
This story tells about how the Magnacarta was made, and about the tale that is behind it. It is very goofy, and doesn’t make much sense.
This story is very inaccurate, but besides the inaccuracy, the story is not bad. I rate it with a G for good.
Now see some of my book reviews, and apply what you have learned!
