Reviewing can be really tough at times, so I conjured up a few templates to try out as a baseline until you adopt your own style of reviewing. They're designed to be easy to write whilst still providing useful feedback.
Firstly, decide on what you're going to aim for.
The Basic Review, bog standard for beginners and veterans alike.
The Story Review, geared towards the heart of what brings a narrative to life.
The Technique Review, for those who enjoy a healthy dose of grammatical accuracy.
The Literary Review, targeting the essence of the work and what makes it stand out.
Focusing on what you're good at or enjoy will help you to write higher quantities of useful reviews much easier. Focusing on something you know less about might take a little longer, but you'll be able to learn a lot more from it.
Basic
The basic template is for those who are new to reviewing or want a chance to casually cruise through some works and leave a bit of helpful feedback as they go.
Spoiler! :
Story
The Story template is for those who really like to dig into the heart of a story. It's about picking apart the characters and unweaving the plot and figuring out what really makes the story tick, and is most useful to novelists and short story writers.
Spoiler! :
Technique
The Technique template is about really harnessing the art of stringing words together. It takes a keen eye to filter through the work, find those perfect gems and polish them until they shine. It's most useful to poets and scriptwriters.
Spoiler! :
Literary
The Literary template is about what makes a piece stand out. It's finding that tiny spark of something honest and raw and bringing it out to its greatest potential.

Lastly, if you come up with any of your own or find an interesting mix-and-match between these feel free to add them below.
Happy Reviewing!
