Book reviews are very useful when you are trying to evaluate a book.
They
-
appear in the year the book is published, as well as 2-3 years
later
-
are found in periodicals (magazines, newspapers and journals)
-
range in length from very short (100 words or less) to fairly long
(5 pages or more)
-
indicate whether the book is important and how easy it is to read
