How to write effective book reports

The Writing process of book reports requires high level of attention. For the reason that in a book report you write about something that has already been written, you have to stick to the contents of the book as even a single little inappropriate assertion can cost you your entire book report. Here’s how you make sure to write your book reports in the best way:

The introduction

You should start off your book report with a striking introductory sentence that works as an attention grabber. In your very first paragraph you have to mention the name of the book in discussion (italicized) along with its author’s name, its topic, angle, genre and the theme.

Subsequent paragraphs

In the subsequent paragraphs you have to tell the story of the book in a clear but succinct manner that you tell the readers the opening of the book and its characters but not the core of the story.

Example

“The poison tree tells us the story of a girl named Karen Clarke who is a college student at London. Karen is real good with studies but not comfortable with her college’s social life. Her life goes unexciting till she meets Biba, who is totally an apposite personality of Karen. However, they become good friends and Karen starts to visit Biba at her Mansion where she meets Biba’s brother ‘Rex’ and instantly falls in love with him. The story takes a U turn when Biba and Rex turn out to be drug, alcohol and sex addicts and add Karen into it too. Then finally, their epicurean days end in a murder…”

Putting spotlight on the author

As a next step, tell the readers about the author’s background as where did he born, studied, worked, what are his achievements etc. accordingly continue writing till you reach the conclusion part.

The conclusion

Before summarizing the report, add your point of view clearly about what you think about the book as a whole. Then finally sum up your entire book report in this part by rewriting the main pointers of the report so the readers can end up reading in a state where they can draw their own conclusions too.
