Book Review Romeo and Juliet


The book of romeo and juliet of Powell Cabrera is different than Shakespeare book because Powell Cabrera is a comic for kids in this versión is less describe tan the real book so we think that romeo is not describe enoff in this book so it make it really different tan the real one.

Also in Shakespeare book they describe Romeo and Juliet loveas a really romatic relation, but in Powell Cabreras book is also romantic but not so much as the real one.

Between this two books of Romeo and Juliet they are meny difference like exageration , mood, the imposinle love, the bad and insoportable relation between the two families, the places, the descriptions and many situations that the real book have.

In our concept Shakespeare book is moreinteresting to read because the form, the words, the inspiration that Shakespeare has in that book is not compare to the Powell Cabreras book.

But also Powell Cabreras book have a positive concept like is more short so kids can have the oportunity to know what Romeo and Juliet book is also more easy to understand, the comics of the book are beautiful.

Both books are really good but we thinkthat Powell Cabreras is better for kids.

A book review is a description, critical analysis, and an evaluation on the quality, meaning, and significance of a book, not a retelling. It should focus on the book's purpose, content, and authority. A critical book review is not a book report or a summary. It is a reaction paper in which strengths and weaknesses of the material are analyzed. It shouldinclude a statement of what the author has tried to do, evaluates how well (in the opinion of the reviewer) the author has succeeded, and presents evidence to support this evaluation.

There is no right way to write a book review. Book reviews are highly personal and reflect the opinions of the reviewer. A review can be as short as 50-100 words, or as long as 1500 words, depending on thepurpose of the review.

The following are standard procedures for writing book reviews; they are suggestions, not formulae that must be used.
1. Write a statement giving essential information about the book: title, author, first copyright date, type of book, general subject matter, special features (maps, color plates, etc.), price and ISBN.

2. State the author’s purpose in writing the book.Sometimes authors state their purpose in the preface or the first chapter. When they do not, you may arrive at an understanding of the book’s purpose by asking yourself these questions:
a. Why did the author write on this subject rather than on some other subject?
b. From what point of view is the work written?
c. Was the author trying to give information, to explain something technical, toconvince the reader of a belief’s validity by dramatizing it in action?
d. What is the general field or genre, and how does the book fit into it? (Use outside sources to familiarize yourself with the field, if necessary.) Knowledge of the genre means understanding the art form. and how it functions.
e. Who is the intended audience?
f. What is the author's style? Is it formal or informal? Evaluatethe quality of the writing style by using some of the following standards: coherence, clarity, originality, forcefulness, correct use of technical words, conciseness, fullness of development, fluidity. Does it suit the intended audience?
g. Scan the Table of Contents, it can help understand how the book is organized and will aid in determining the author's main ideas and how they are developed -chronologically, topically, etc.
g. How did the book affect you? Were any previous ideas you had on the subject changed, abandoned, or reinforced due to this book? How is the book related to your own course or personal agenda? What personal experiences you've had relate to the subject?
h. How well has the book achieved its goal?
i. Would you recommend this book or article to others? Why?
