Guidelines for Reader's Corner Reviews

Keep the following questions in mind as you write your review:

Pace: Is it a page turner?  Is it plot-driven?  Is it stream-of consciousness?  Are there multiple plots?

Characterization: Are the characters memorable?  Are they stereotypical?  Are they strong or weak?  Are they more important than the plot?

Storyline:  Is it psychological and introspective, exciting and action-orientated, serious literature, or pure entertainment?  Are people more important than events?

Setting:  Is it important, or could the story be set anywhere?  Is it simple or detailed?  Does it affect the tone of the story?

Reviews contributed to the Reader's Corner may be posted on the PPL Book Blog.  You will be identified by your first name and city only.  We may edit your review, and we may not choose to publish every review. We appreciate and look forward to your contributions to the Reader's Corner.
