    How to Write a Short Story Review
    Deciding whether you like a short story or not is pretty simple. Writing
    about it requires skill and a well-thought-out plan. A story review reveals
    your opinion regarding the core aspects of the story and addresses the
    author’s intent. The review gives a reader insight as to your reaction, and
    whether or not the story made an impact. Being able to condense all this
    information in a clear and concise manner requires strong writing
    abilities. Structuring your piece can be easier if you follow a few
    guidelines.

    Step 1
    Write your impressions. As you read the story take notes about how it
    made you feel, whether or not it fascinated you, what you liked and what
    you felt was missing. Jotting down the information as you read the story
    provides a better recollection of your first impression, and helps you
    synthesize the information once you finished reading it.

    Step 2
    Evaluate the writing style. Whether it’s a mystery, romance, thriller,
    comedy or literary piece of work, each genre has its own structure and
    pacing plan. Familiarize yourself with the basics of each category before
    reviewing the piece so as to adequately address the structure.

    Step 3
    Construct a thesis. Organize your thoughts and narrow your focus.
    Concentrate on a central idea like the author’s intent, theme, character
    arc or plot. Exploring one of these elements in your thesis provides a
    well-crafted and synthesized review.

    Step 4
    Offer your perspective. After introducing the author, the story and basic
    publishing facts, discuss the overall message of the story, its significance
    and whether or not you would recommend it. Be specific and provide
    details for your reasoning.

    Step 5
    Summarize the plot. Highlight the different aspects of the story that
    piqued your interest, such as the beginning, the rising action or the
    climax. Include the character’s development and reflect on whether or
    not the character possessed depth. Analyze the ending to the story and
    describe your reaction. Did it satisfy you or let you down?

    Step 6
    Discuss the author’s purpose and whether or not you feel she achieved it
    through the characters, storyline or style. If the story was meant to be an
    inspiring tale of overcoming the odds, but failed to motivate you or
    engage your interest, then the author was not successful in that respect.

    Step 7
    Give constructive advice. If you didn’t appreciate the author’s story do
    not criticize the author on a personal level, but instead focus your advice
    on the story elements themselves. List specific examples, such as story,
    plot or character development that could have improved the piece.

    Step 8
    Draw your conclusion. Tie your piece together in the final paragraph.
    Give your overall opinion of the story and whether or not you would
    recommend it.
