volume? Is it a response to other previous literature?
5. Observations about the book’s quality and scope – Does it appear to cover its
subject comprehensively? Is it well organized? Does it include helpful
illustrations, references, appendices, or similar? Does the book seem to be
biased in any way? Have others weighed in on its quality?
Here it may be helpful to access reviews via the library search page or other
search engines. Use the best quality feedback available rather than, for
example, reader comments at Amazon. However, it is not required that you
include summaries of others’ reviews (not all books will have them), and any
reference you make to reviews should not constitute a substantive part of
your own review – your own voice as a reviewer should be front and center. If
no reviews are available, as is often the case for newer volumes, you will not
be penalized for not including any. Be sure to include the sources of any
reviews you mention as references at the end of your review, for example:

6. Descriptive and evaluative content of the book’s full content (sections,
chapters, etc.). This will constitute the biggest part of your text and should
offer the reader good comprehensive insight into what they would find in the
book. Your summary of contents should be as detailed as space permits,
highlighting key points and arguments. If you choose to quote key ideas, keep
these as brief as possible — do not “pad” your writing by including lengthy
quotes or excessive numbers of quotes, but instead prioritize your own prose.
Provide page number references as inline citations for any quotes, e.g. (p.
109).
You can also include comments on what you found to be the book’s particular
strengths or weaknesses, indicating sections of the book that you found more
authoritative or weaker than others and giving reasons why. (Your evaluation
may differ from any reviews that you read, and that’s ok.)
