+1 862 207 3288 When you are asked to write a critical review of a book or article, you will need to identify,
summarize, and evaluate the ideas and information the author has presented. In other
words, you will be examining another person’s thoughts on a topic from your point of view.
Your stand must go beyond your “gut reaction” to the work and be based on your
knowledge (readings, lecture, experience) of the topic as well as on factors such as
criteria stated in your assignment or discussed by you and your instructor.
Make your stand clear at the beginning of your review, in your evaluations of specific
parts, and in your concluding commentary.
Remember that your goal should be to make a few key points about the book or article,
not to discuss everything the author writes.
To write a good critical review, you will have to engage in the mental processes of
analyzing (taking apart) the work–deciding what its major components are and
determining how these parts (i.e., paragraphs, sections, or chapters) contribute to the
work as a whole.
Analyzing the work will help you focus on how and why the author makes certain points
and prevent you from merely summarizing what the author says. Assuming the role of an
analytical reader will also help you to determine whether or not the author fulfills the
stated purpose of the book or article and enhances your understanding or knowledge of a particular topic
