How to Write a Simple Book Review


This book became a project for Allyson after she gave away over 700 of one of her books, with the goal of receiving reviews and was shocked to have only got two. Not really understanding why she approached her friends and family to ask if they wrote book reviews and if not, why not. 

Allyson learned that is was through not understanding how simple the actual process was and how important the reviews are for authors. Most of the feedback linked book reviews to lengthy book critiques and old school book reports. It was time, Allyson decided, to set the record straight and help readers to sypport their favorite authors. How to Write a Simple Book Review was born and now in 2020 is rated at 4.5 and has over 180 reviews on Amazon.
