I love writing book reviews. It gives me a chance to delve into the book’s theme, analyze the author’s writing style, describe the book’s unique qualities, reflect on how the book made me feel, and find fabulous quotes from it. A book that I adore and am sad when it ends, what’s the term? - finding closure!!!
I don’t do it for every book I read because that would be a lot of reviews, but I will if the book really struck a chord with me. It can be a good way to start a conversation and compare impressions with others (like, “What was the main character’s motivation for doing X?”).
