Book review of Mr. Wizard
This book is a light-hearted tale about the complexities of family and legacy, and the search for answers to the mystery surrounding Mr. Wizard. Mr. Wizard presents characters with the questions of permanence, change, and legacy. The author creates characters that experience surprising connections with one another. The book is great, but not essential reading. Mr. Wizard might not be as suitable for younger readers.
Review of Everyone Here Is from Somewhere Else
The challenge of writing a book critique is that you need to give your readers an idea about what to expect. However, you shouldn't reveal the end. Most readers don't like reading a review that spoils the ending. Include the protagonist or antagonist. Write about the way they act and how it makes you feel. You might be able to relate them to other books that you have read or to a friend. You can ask your readers to choose their favorite character.
