A book review is a form of literary criticism in which a book is analyzed based on content, style, and merit. A book review can be a primary source opinion piece, summary review or scholarly review. Books can be reviewed for printed periodicals, magazines and newspapers, as school work, or for book web sites on the Internet. A book review's length may vary from a single paragraph to a substantial essays. Such a review may evaluate the book on the basis of personal taste. Reviewers may use the occasion of a book review for a display of learning or to promulgate their own ideas on the topic of a fiction or non-fiction work. There are a number of journals devoted to book reviews,〔See 〕 and reviews are indexed in databases such as ''Book Review Index'' and ''Kirkus Reviews''; but many more book reviews can be found in newspaper databases as well as scholarly databases such as Arts and Humanities Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index and discipline-specific databases. ==See also== *Literary criticism * *The New York Review of Books *London Review of Books *Amazon.com controversies *List of online book store * The Wikiversity course on Writing a Book Review. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Book review」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
