Book Reviews & Literary Criticism: What's the
difference?
Almost any book can have a book review published about it, although not
every book does. There are book reviews of fiction and nonfiction, scholarly
and popular works. Book reviews may vary in length from a few sentences
to several pages. Literary criticism is a more in-depth analysis of the
work, including more interpretation and evaluation.
