REVIEW TEMPLATE

Layout of judge/reviewer chapters (what reviews will look like). Reviews are not made to "rate" books. Reviews are meant to help books. Example of review template below:

"Title"

Favorite chapter: "chapter number" "explanation 1-3 sent."

Favorite character: "name" "explanation 1-3 sent."

Grammar & Spelling (Needs Work, Good, Excellent): "Good" "Ex. 1" "Ex. 2" Ex. 3"

*In the case of needs work, this means there was more than ten repetitive grammar/spelling errors. Must list at least five of these repetitive errors found.

*In the case of good, this means there were less than five repetitive grammar/spelling errors. Must list at least three repetitive errors found.

*In the case of excellent, this means there were less than three repetitive grammar/spelling errors. Must list up to two repetitive errors found.

If I wasn't doing a review, I would have clicked the story just by looking at its cover: "yes/no" "explanation 1-3 sent."

After reading the summary, I wanted to read the story: "yes/no" "explanation 1-3 sent."

The most likable character is: "name" "explanation 1-3 sent."

The most unlikeable character is: "name" "explanation 1-3 sent."

The story conveys something that I strongly believe in or care about: "This is your final magical note to leave off regarding your thoughts on the story(1-3 sent)."
