How I Became a Book Reviewer

When I first used the Internet to find love, the last thing I thought I would be doing was promoting my talents as a writer and a Book Reviewer but, looking back now, it was the best thing that I have ever done.

What is a Book Review?

A book review (or book report) is a form of literary criticism in which a book is analyzed based on content, style, and merit. It is often carried out in periodicals, as school work, or online. Its length may vary from a single paragraph to a substantial essay. Such a review often contains evaluations of the book on the basis of personal taste.

Gaining experience as a Book Reviewer

Book or Product reviewing is not for everyone and reviews are not often classed as good reading material but they are essential for promotion purposes as well as giving an idea as to what the product, book or film is about. The success of a movie or a book, for example, is reliant on a review whether it's poor, good or mediocre.

In order to begin as a book reviewer, I had to gain some experience so I contacted Eva Almeida, the owner of a well known book review site and was astounded when she accepted me on a trial basis. I had no qualifications other than a love of reading.

The rest is history, so to speak!

I've now been reviewing for over 8 years and I'm happy to review books, e-books, websites, blogs, Squidoo lenses, products, adult toys, internet services and tools.
