"Also, every now and then I dust this off, but for those of you who find writing reviews of books (or other things you’ve loved) difficult? I’ve got you.

We did a thing in the bookstore with little cue-cards, and it took *three* sentences (and was useful and helpful). 

So, here we go."

  "The Three Sentence Review
  
  If it’s stressing you out and you want to write a review, a helpful review can be easily made with three simple setnences:
  
  1. What you can expect from the book (without spoilers).
  “The Unwanted is a great young adult story where a young gay teen struggling with a bully learns he’s got bigger problems when his long-lost mother returns, reveals she’s an Amazon, and tells him he’s part of an important prophecy.”
  
  2. What was uinique/awesome/moving/exciting about the book (again, no spoilers). “Taking Greek mythology and blending it with the real struggles of a gay teen is a delicate balance, and Jeffrey Ricker manages it with aplomb.” 
  
  3. Using a better-known author or a genre, which readers do you think would enjoy the book? “Any reader who loved Rick Riordan’s “The Lightning Thief” should grab “The Unwanted.”” 
  
  It doesn’t have to be an essay to be helpful, and you’d be surprised how much even a simple review does help an author."
