Tweet a book review

Book reviews - Twitter style

Write a quality book review in 140 characters or less and then share it with me so I can tweet it.

Steps

1. Choose a book that you have read to review. Yes you must have read the book!
2. Write a short review for the book. Your review must include the title. Check the number of characters. Remember the total number of characters, including spaces must NOT go over 140 characters. (I wrote my review in a Word doc, then checked the number of characters with spaces in Review - Word Count.)
3. Find an interesting link to include in your tweet e.g. a book trailer, information about the book. 
4. Shorten the link e.g. use Bit.ly
5. Add one of the following star ratings (just the stars, NOT the words):

**** - LOVED it! You must read it!

*** - It was good.

** - It was just OK.

* - Don't read it. 

6. Fill in this google form so I can tweet your book review and give you house points!

Here's my example: (Character count with spaces is 137)
Hunger Games - a story where children have to kill children to survive. One becomes the hope for a revolution. http://bit.ly/1ZAlj7n ****
