怎么写一本书的英文书评？请从格式上讲细则。
1．一个生动的开场白：用一两个简短的段落揭示作者的姓名、书名，以及有关作者的简要信息，如过去的作品、曾获得的荣誉。
2．如果是小说，对情节做简要勾勒，如果作品不是小说，写明写作目的和主题。
3．书评作者对此书优缺点的评论。
4．用一个总结性的语句式段落使读者对此书有一个总体印象。
开篇
写好开篇段落对书评来说非常有挑战性，其目的是抓住读者的注意力，使他们产生读这篇文章的热切愿望。
开篇之前，先做一下笔记，问自己一些问题：
·贯穿此书的主题是什么？
·与同类书相比，这本书的特色是什么？
·这本书对我产生了什么影响？通过回答上述问题，你可能就知道该如何人手了。
一般来说，作者姓名和书名应该在第一段中出现，但有时你可能会从书中最重要的观点说起，犹如书评专门评论该书的主题。文章开头用简短的语言表明作者对本书的总体印象是个不错的办法，一两个形容词就够了，过后你可在此基础上扩展。
摘要
人们是为了判断是否想读这本书才去看书评的，因此你应让他们对书的内容有所了解。小说的评论可对主要人物作些介绍，但只需简要点出部分情节即可。没有比评论者泄露了小说结局更让作者和准读者更恼火的事了！通常我简介小说的前三分之一或前半部分情节，忽略副情节。在冲突即将解决时，某个人物要做出决定时，或一个主要的活动场景即将开始时，戛然而止。
非小说的书评则应提供所有重要信息的概览，其中包括重大的日期，人物地点，观点及作者如何得出结论的阐述。
适当地引用书中原文可使读者产生真实的感受。要寻找那些机智、动人或有力的话语，并对它们产生的背景作一番描述。除非编辑准许你篇幅拉长，一般情况下，一定要将引言限制在一两句之内。不要忘记在每句引文后面注上页码出处，这样编辑可以核实。
总结
使用有力度的词语，尽量简短地总结你对此书的观点。如果可能，与篇首的评论遥相呼应
范文：
On Jane Eyre
Reading Jane Eyre is a process full of pleasure and motivation. The heroine, Jane Eyre, succeeds in conquering millions of readers by her virtue, consistence and reason. To make Jane’s extraordinary romance with Mr.Rochester a break from routine, Charlotte Bronte managers to connect Jane with an “ordinary” aspirant and Mr.Rochester a disability.
The essence of love deserves a discussion and reflection here. Appearance? possession? To me, neither. Miss Ingram, undoubtedly, a wealthy, pretty and accomplished lady from the first class, is described by Mr.Rochester as one of those “women who please me only by their faces. They open to me a perspective of flatness, triviality and perhaps imbecility, coarseness, and ill-temper. ”In addition, the repeated proposal of the handsome, ambitious St.John comes across Jane’s stable refusal. These plots are expected to get out of a conventional stereotype that appearance and possession count most. In Jane Eyre, love is only based on internal appreciation. It is Jane’s virtue that brings light to all around her---kinship, friendship and romance.
To my regret, virtue no longer shares the priority and popularity in our modern society. More or less, people have been accustomed to making external show pass for clean shrines. Sometimes, people feel reluctant to admit their poverty and ugliness. However, those who dares to scrutinize and expose---to raise the gilding , and show basic metal under it, are too often neglected. For the people that merely care façade brilliance, I suppose, Jane Eyre cannot be missed.
Apart from Jane, I want to mention Helen Burns, a most important friend of Jane. Though the author doesn’t emphasis her, I do appreciate this little girl and feel sorry for her early death. Tender but firm, learned but modest, eloquent but prorious, Helen Burns always remains obedient to critism, smiles at her friend when most needed and difficult, keeps calm towards death. Really, I believe she has a heart large enough, vigorous enough to hold her swelling life of pure and fervid. Her spirit seemed hastening to live with a very brief span as much as many people during a protracted existence.
Besides depicting a typically stable, tractable Jane, Jane Eyre also stands out for some other aspects. Given the content, the book discovers many social problems that period had, such as the poor charitable school, hypocritical postors and profligate nobles; Given the rhetorical feature, it is not only a work of realism, but also full of romantic atmosphere. The mixture of presentiment, symbolism, synecdoche and metaphor contributes a lot to literature value. Obviously, the author’s description towards Jane’s mentality differs a lot from the former ones. It is more forthright and minute.
On the whole, Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre is a profound work that reminds readers of a theme: Virtue and Persistence. It has inspired so many readers especially females to struggle for a better life. Jane, a lady endowed with independence and goodness, is really a symbol of feminism. Critics say it is Charlotte Bronte that accomplishes Jane Eyre. For me, it is Jane Eyre that accomplishes Charlotte Bronte.
