Description

Book review sites have been growing to which readers submit their own review. This study was aimed at investigating the characteristics of the online book reviews in comparison with those in newspapers. The sentences in the book reviews were analyzed based on the following points: target of evaluation, viewpoints, objectivity, and favorable evaluation or negative. The results were as follows: 1) 90 percent of the targets of evaluation were "the work itself". There was no difference between online reviews and those in newspapers. 2) 48 percent of viewpoints were "the writing style" in reviews in newspapers, while "plot" and "setting" were the main viewpoints in online reviews. 3) Most of the reviews in newspapers were objective and favorable, on the other hand online reviews vary in tone including subjective and negative evaluation.
