1. Summary of the plot/main idea (without spoilers): This gives the reader a sense of what the book is about without revealing crucial plot points. For non-fiction, this would be a summary of the central arguments and thesis.
2. Analysis of strengths and weaknesses: This is the critical part. Discuss what worked well (e.g., writing style, character development, pacing, originality, argumentation) and what didn't (e.g., plot holes, unbelievable characters, weak arguments, pacing issues). Support your points with evidence from the book.
3. Overall assessment and recommendation: Conclude with a concise statement of your opinion on the book. Did you enjoy it? Would you recommend it to others? And to whom would you recommend it? This should be directly related to your analysis.
