O’Reilly Blogger Review Program 邀請部落客寫書評

I review for the O'Reilly Blogger Review Program從事資訊相關的工作,一定聽過 O'Reilly 這家出版社,它出版電腦書籍而聞名全世界。在電子書迎頭趕上紙本網路銷售的時代,O'Reilly 也提供大量 DRM Free 電子書,讓全球讀者能夠在第一時間用自己喜歡的裝置閱讀原文書,用更低的價格閱讀最新的書籍,並節省等待運送的時間。

如果你經常大量閱讀原文電腦書籍,那麼 O'Reilly 推行的 Blogger Review Program(部落客書評計畫),千萬別錯過!參與此計畫,你可以索取原文電子書全文,步驟是:
  1. 先擁有個人部落格,文章當然不能太少(需由 O'Reilly 審核,目前等待時間約 1~2 工作日)。
  2. 加入 Blogger Review Program
  3. 申請一本喜歡的書(需由 O'Reilly 審核,目前等待時間約 1~2 工作日)。
  4. 審核通過後,電子書全文會可以在網站個人書櫃下載(提供 EPUB, PDF, MOBI 格式)。
  5. 看完這本書。
  6. 撰寫一篇書評(好評或批評都可以,理由需要清楚),發表在部落格。
  7. 提交部落格書評網址給 O'Reilly 審查。
  8. 同時只能申請一本書,提交書評審核後才能申請下一本!

這對喜歡閱讀又愛寫文章分享的部落客來說,真是一舉多得:
  1. 看新書不用花錢(但個人認為可能會因此花更多錢,因為看到真的很喜歡的書最後還是會買一本實體書回家)
  2. 更有動機把書看完(畢竟要交稿嘛!!!)
  3. 增加部落格文章(而且是比較認真寫的那種)

至於書評怎麼寫?!O'Reilly 也提供清楚的準則:

Thanks for joining with O'Reilly Media to spread the knowledge of innovators and expert early adopters. Perhaps most importantly, your job is to offer honest reviews. It's OK to not like a book or video; just tell your readers why in a reasoned manner, fearlessly citing your objections. It's also of course OK to like a book or video, but don't gush. Write conversationally, as though you were making a recommendation to a friend. Reviews can range from 200 to 1,000 words, but we suggest that you keep them between 250 to 500 words. Shorter is always better online.

就像把書推薦給朋友的談話方式,書評可以從 200 到 1000 字,但是建議保持在 250 到 500 字之間;講重點的網路文章總是比較好。

Here are some suggested guidelines for structuring your reviews:

以下是建議的準則:

Title 標題

For the title of your post, please include the title of the book, the name of the author, and the publisher, (e.g., "Myths of Innovation" by Scott Berkun; O'Reilly Media;).

文章標題請包含書名、作者及出版社。

Summary 摘要

Try to summarize the work in the first few sentences of your review. For example, with the Berkun book, you might start by naming the author and his background and giving a short thumbnail of what he is attempting. Here's an example (and no, we don't expect you to use the word "seminal"): "Journalist Scott Berkun examines the history of creative thinking in this newly revised paperback edition of his seminal investigation into what makes mankind move forward."

在開頭用幾句話作摘要,像是介紹作者的背景及這本書的貢獻。

Reactions 回應

If you liked something in particular, mention what it is and why you liked it ("Berkun's creativity—where did he come up with 'juggling hungry cocaine-addicted baby tigers'?—makes for a fun read"). Conversely, if you didn't like something, say what it is and why ("I found the footnotes to Wikipedia links to be suspect"). Also, note any missing and/or incorrect information that you find. Be as specific as you can be—this helps other readers. End the review with an overall summary. Good? Bad? Indifferent? And: Why?

覺得這本書好?不好?或沒感覺,說明原因。如果少了什麼或有錯誤,也可以記下來。用來幫助其他讀者,知道你對這本書的看法。
