How+to+Add+a+Review

**When you add a review to East High Library Book Review Wiki: **
1) Choose a book that you've read and would like to review. Remember that your target audience is teen readers so try limiting the book you choose to one whose intended audience is teenagers or young adults. 2) Choose the genre from "East High Library Book Review" navigation bar that corresponds to a genre from your book (Realistic Fiction, Romance, etc.). Your book may fit more than one genre. Choose one, or copy and paste your review into each applicable genre. 3) Click on that genre's page, and then click on the icon in the upper right hand corner of that page that says "Edit This Page." 4) You may type in your review or paste in a review that you've typed in another word processing document. (The editing pages on this site don't have any kind of spell check so typing it elsewhere and pasting it in can be helpful.) 4) Be sure that your book review has the following:
 * The same format and looks the same as the other book reviews. Book title and author in first line. Your initials on the last line by themselves to indicate who wrote it (but not your whole name!).
 * Title and author of book (book title is italicized)
 * Information about main characters, main conflicts, and primary themes - but don't give the whole story away!
 * Recommendation - What did you like about the book? What sort of readers might enjoy this book? Were there any difficult issues that some readers might find controversial? Warn them!

Sample of how your review should look:
//The Kite Runner// by Khaled Hosseini (@ HOS in East High Library) Have you ever done something that you regret and wished that you could do something to take it back or make it better? This book is about exactly that. The main character Rahim does something to his best friend during their childhood that causes his best friend to not only move away, but also to never have contact with him again. Also, Rahim is left with the regret of what he did. The story line is full of imagery and amazingly lifelike situations. It will grab you in and hold you till the end. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a very emtionally action packed story that will keep you on your toes with anticipation until the very end. -K.C. note: This book deals with the potentially upsetting themes of sexual and emotional abuse. - J.B.

When you edit an existing post in East High Library Book Review Wiki:
1) Correct factual errors or writing errors ONLY. In parentheses following the review you edited write "ed. by Your Initials, Date." 2) If you'd like to add information/opinion/etc. to someone else's review - DON'T! Instead, click on the tab marked "Discussion" at the top of that web page. Add your ideas there.
