Readability (simple to read? Or just way too convoluted?), Content (suitable?, Interesting? Gripping?), Practicality (incorporating the index, layout, front and back covers, contents pages, page numbering. How easy are things to find). Price (For it's size and content was it hugely expensive? Overall value for money).

Book Review Score 4 out of 10

We're hoping to have two styles/types of reviews. The Academic review will be indepth and more than likely of more interest to those in academia. The Laymans review is written in a style that is accessable by anyone. The reason for this is so that younger students and beginners in social sciences can more easily understand and glean whether a book will be of use/interest to them and academics can read the academic style and get out of it what they need to also.
