Improving book reviews

Today, let's take a look at some ways to improve book reviews.

First of all, remember a few formatting basics:

1. When you quote directly, be sure to quote accurately. Make sure the quotation is formatted differently, so that readers can see what is a quotation and what is your own writing. Add the page number (but not the other reference information) after the quotation.
2. Don't forget to add an APA-style reference at the end of your book review. Remember that there are basically 4 parts to a reference: Author, Year, Title, Publication information. The author's name should start with the family name. 

Now, a couple of grammar points:

1. Think whether a noun should be singular (1) or plural (2 or more). Try to make sure any verb agrees with the noun.
2. If a noun is singular, usually it needs an article (a/an, the). Think about the rules for using articles.
