Time taken to write a review?

Post by Runan »

Once you are done with a book, how long does it usually take for you to finish the review once you start it? Do you ponder about it for a while before you start writing? Do you take breaks in between to think it through? What’s your average time taken to write a review?

I will take 1.5 hours to post a review. I won't take any rest while writing review.

It takes me about a day or two. I like to reflect on a book, think about it for a while once I'm done with it.

i usually wait a day or two after reading a book to mull over what I've read. The actual writing takes no more than a couple of hours.

It depends on the review. I take notes as I go and color code them so I have an idea of what to include. The review itself could take anywhere from 20 minutes (not including editing) to a day. Typically it's only an hour or so. Editing always takes me longer and it's still rarely error-free. However i usually try to have them written right after finishing the book if time allows so I don't forget anything important (though notes help).

I take note as I read along, I also color code in most cases I take break to reflect what was on the Author's mind when he/she was writing the book before I finally conclude on my Review
