How to write a book review
Leo Tolstoy said: "Ideal books are the key to wisdom." To make ideal books the key to people's wisdom, often With the help of book reviews, more people can learn about it, love it, and make friends with it. Mr. Ye Shengtao, a famous educator and writer in my country, gave a vivid summary of the role of book reviews in the article "Give Children and Children More Extracurricular Readings". He said: "When a concise and accurate review article is published, good reading materials will be The elephant has wings and flies to the windows of readers’ hearts, waiting to open the windows to welcome them.”
What is a “book review”? After reading a book or an article and writing down your own feelings and opinions, this is a "book review". So, how to write a good "book review"?
First of all, read the "Preface" and "Postscript" of a book carefully. The preface and postscript are important parts of a book. After reading the preface and postscript, you can roughly know the content of the book. The "preface" of some books is written by the author himself, mainly talking about the purpose and process of writing the book. The "preface" of some books is written by the author by someone else (mostly an expert in a certain field), mainly to introduce or evaluate the book. Content and Features. The prefaces of some books are actually prefaces, and the postscripts of some books are actually similar to postscripts. The preface is usually placed before the main text of the book, and in some cases it is placed after the main text. For example, the preface written by Sima Qian, a historian in the Han Dynasty, for his masterpiece "Historical Records" was placed at the end of "Historical Records". The preface and postscript are guides for reading and must be read when writing a book review.
Secondly, you must learn to write a summary. Han Yu, a prose writer in the Tang Dynasty, said: "The chronicler must mention its key points, and the compiler must draw out its mysteries." This means: for books that record things, you must grasp its key points, and for books that explain principles, you must explore its meaning. Purpose. "When we read, we must learn to use our own words to briefly summarize the main content and main ideas of the book after deeply understanding the basic ideas and spiritual essence of the original work. When writing a book review, it is impossible to repeat the content of the original work from beginning to end. Learn By writing a summary, you can better grasp the theme of the work, and the book review will be "targeted", so that the article will not be wrong. Therefore, practicing writing a summary is very helpful for improving your comprehensive and general abilities.
Again, you need to connect it with reality. You may have a lot of feelings and gains after reading a book. You need to grasp the parts of the book that move you most and combine them with what you think and experience. Write your true feelings and inspirations. For example, the article "I Love "Red Rock" written by Wu Lan, a high school student affiliated with Jiangxi Normal University, won the first prize in the national middle school student book review essay in Shanxi "Chinese Teaching Newsletter". The connection between "I" and "Red Rock" is closely linked to the word "love". First, write that "Red Rock" is "my favorite book", and then describe the reasons for love in detail - " It was this book that gave me the strength to move forward and the courage to live." The author told about his childhood misfortunes and analyzed the main heroes such as Xu Yunfeng, Hua Ziliang, Jiang Jie, and Xiaoluotou in the book "Red Rock" She recalled the shock caused by the characters in her heart, recalled her mother's instructions, and finally summarized how the book "Red Rock" helped her change from hating life to loving life. The book review is intertwined with reason and touching.
Finally, you must have independent opinions. The ancients said: “Without learning, there is no way to question, and without asking, there is no way to accumulate. "Song Dynasty scholar Zhu Xi said: "Those who have no doubts in reading must have doubts in teaching, and those who have doubts must have no doubts. Only then can they make progress. "When reading, you need to think more and be good at asking. On the basis of correctly understanding the original meaning of the original work, analyze and compare your own opinions with those in the book, and then raise questions and express your own new insights. For example, there is an article by Guo Moruo in the high school Chinese textbook Comrade Ding Shaohua from No. 1 Middle School in Ulanhot, Inner Mongolia wrote a book review after reading "The Three Hundred Years' Commemoration of Jiashen", which is a novel idea and rich prose. The article was about Li Zicheng's murder of Li Yan mentioned by Mr. Guo. He conducted an in-depth and specific analysis of Li Zicheng's actions and put forward different opinions. He believed that Li Zicheng made a double mistake in killing Li Yan.
In order to demonstrate this central argument, the author made various "imaginations" and then demonstrated them one by one, pointing out that Li Zicheng not only believed Niu Jinxing's slander, but also thoughtlessly killed a person who should not have been killed. "This especially made Zicheng's mistake It casts another layer of tragedy." Finally, it was concluded that Li Zicheng's killing of Li Yan was indeed a "misstep and short-sighted move." This book review by Ding Shaohua seeks novelty and difference in argumentation. He does not seek too many arguments and seeks completeness. The argumentation process lays out facts and makes sense. He closely focuses on the topic to reason and make judgments, and strives to convince people with reason. Although individual points of the article are still open to question, and there is still a lack of necessary analysis of the ideological basis for Li Zicheng’s slander and the class boundaries that led to the murder of Li Yan, the author’s courage and debating ability in daring to put forward his own different opinions are truly commendable.
When writing a book review, the most important thing is to have independent opinions. The most important thing is to avoid following what others have said.
