Dear Sri Yuvaraj,
Thanks for your post. In plain words, reviewing a book essentially requires reviewer's understanding of the subject.
In case you know the subject you have mentioned, you can follow Ms. Sampa Nandy's well structured format.
However, I disagree with very first sentence in the 4th. point in her post!!
Writing a review is an academic discourse. and a book review is regarded as an equivalent of a journal article. You can consult any issue of NYRB/LRB and see by yourself.
In Humanities & Social Science M.Phil, writing book reviews as a term paper is somewhat essential. It is an indicator of the one's personal understanding of an issue/theme and the ability to analyze certain issue/theme Unless, you are able to do this job, all other issues will be futile!! As I understand, there are several sites where you can get requisite inputs.
.For example, I have with me a book Principles of Neural Science; 5th. Ed. McGraw-Hill, 2013 Edited by Eric J. Kendel etal. 1709p., illus. 28.00 cm (ISBN:9780071390118) I am virtually sure that unless, one has good understandings of the subject, it is impossible to write a review of this book.One can however structure it physical entities, but if one does not have background of the subject,it will be noting but a sort of what is called "Gallery Show"
That's all!!
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray
