On the benefits of book review in improving writing ability

During this period, I was very happy to see several Jane friends start to write book reviews under my influence, which at least shows that this approach has certain attraction I think the best book reviewer is Argentine writer Borges, who can condense a novel into a wonderful short story You can have a look at his villain biography, in which each story is carefully re created, saturated with the author's unique style of humor Everyone has his own purpose in writing book reviews For me who want to improve my craft, book review mainly takes into account the following two aspects: first, analyze the structure of novels and absorb the essence of art The second is to exercise their ability to organize the plot In fact, the book review practice in this period of time has greatly improved my ability of writing expression, and has been able to make a statement This laid a solid foundation for the future writing I usually write book reviews after two or three intensive readings At this time, I have a comprehensive understanding of the plot in my mind I can stand at a certain height to reorganize it and turn it into my own language and structural form to tell the story I hope that, like Borges, I can condense, refine and write a short story with my own unique style based on the original story.
