It also gives you the opportunity to express an opinion through writing and develop your writing style and voice. In order to write an effective review, on that helps the reader decide whether or not to pick up a particular book, you must include certain elements. By recognizing different elements that are needed in a book review/recommendation you are able to express your opinions more effectively. DUE Friday December 11th
