The Book Report

Book reports may be required by teachers who want to know whether their students have read the books assigned and how well they understand those books. If they are not required, students may as well write one or two for themselves, for writing book reports helps students to improve their reading comprehension and their ability to analyze and evaluate books. Moreover, it is very good written practice. 1. Three Main Parts of a Book report

Generally speaking, a book report consists of the following three main parts:  Information about the author and his times  A summary of the book  Comments on it

A description of the author’s times should be given together with a brief account of his life. It should include the circumstances that led to the writing of the book under discussion and the historical and social background related to the content of the book. To make these things clear, the writer perhaps needs to read some reference material, such as biographies of the author and histories of the period described in the book.

2. Writing of the Book Report

1) The summary of the book should be self-contained, clear, and easy to understand. Above all, it should be objective.

2) Comments on and criticisms of the book should not be mixed with the summary; they can be left to the third part.

3) The summary of a novel or a play is usually written in the present tense, while

that of nonfiction, in the tense of the original work: for example, the past tense should be used for a history, and the present for a scientific work.

4) Comments on and evaluation of the book form the third and most important part of a book report. In this part the writer expresses his or her own views on the book, names its merits and demerits, and discusses its relevance to the present time. The discussion should center on the content of the book, but the author’s style and techniques of presentation, if interesting, can also be touched upon.
