I’ve never written a review before, where do I start?

MsWas’ strategy for writing reviews, if you’re really not sure where to begin:

1. Tell us why you read the book.
2. Give a short summary of the book, or use the publishers’ description.
3. Tell the reader what you liked, what you did not, and why.
4. Throw in a quote or two from the book.
5. Finish up with whether you recommend it or not.

Voilà! You have your first review.
