  • Hey,

    An essay generally consists of five paragraphs.

    1. Opening paragraph (introduction)

    2. Thesis support

    3. "

    4. "

    5. Closing paragraph (conclusion)

    Generally, the opening sentence should be a quote (any, even, in this case) then, make a transition to the thesis paragraph. (In this case, details of the book, why you like it etc.) , closing paragraph should be the mirror paragraph of the intro. The ending sentence can also be a quote (only if you can convey your message why to read that book through the quote). Make sure you use proper transitions such as "however, finally, in spite of, Then" etc. Make sure you have the complete attention of the reader (You can do so by elements of surprise, suspense, creating life - like environments) Otherwise, the essay is nothing less than a piece of paper.
