A book report (or book review) is an exposition giving a short summary of a book and a reaction to it. While it includes some details, a book report is usually tailored to its readers. Emphasis usually on a whole falls on aspects of the book related to the subject matter seen in an academic group of studies. Modern schools have brought different types of projects, like book covers, where one must draw a book cover of the book they read and 'sell the book' with a paragraph on the back.

Book reports usually follow a set format but may vary in length and complexity depending on the academic level at which they are set and the importance of the individual assignment. They are commonly assigned in primary and secondary schools.
