1. Definition
Review is
one of text genres. This classification of text types is commonly based on the
structure which used by the writer to compose his text. Each text type will
have different form of generic structure. As I said in my previous post, review
text usually has generic structure as:
2. Generic
Structure
Introduction: it is the
highlight of the general description about what will be reviewed. It can be
product, services which want to be sold, or just a site which want to be known
publicly. Then it will drive more traffic into the site.
Evaluation: the
second phase is coming inside into the product in details. It states the parts,
uniqueness, quality of the product which will be known publicly. However too
much detail description will “teach” the will-buyer and it does not sound good.
Evaluating as far as necessary for the targeted buyer is more genuine. The term
of evaluation will not be far from simple word of good or bad. In this phase
reviewer will apply much evaluative word, valuable, useful, worthy, etc.
Interpretation: after
writing about the objective thing of the product, it is the time for reviewer
to write about what he thinks or impresses on the product. Of course this phase
can be done after getting enough evaluation on the product. It is personal idea
about the product. Frequently to support and strengthen his idea or impression,
a reviewer describes a comparison to other similar product. He states in which
side the product has additional value or honestly admitted that the product
lacks value in certain side.
Summary: this
phase is recommending conclusion for reader of the product. After clearly
explanation, a reviewer will make a final comment whether the product is
valuable or not for targeted buyer. This phase is the worth of the review for
reader.

Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix

Pengenalan / Orientasi
|
I absolutely love the Harry Potter
series, and all of the books will always hold a special place in my heart.
|
Evaluasi 1
|
I have to say that of all of the
books, however, this was not my favorite.
|
Evaluasi 2
|
When the series began it was as much
of a "feel good" experience as a huge mug of hot cocoa. The stories
were bright, fast-paced, intriguing, and ultimately satisfying.

Tafsiran (Interpretative recount)
|
Order of the Phoenix is a different
kind of book. In some instances this works...you feel a whole new level of
intensity and excitement by the time you get to the end. I was truly moved by
the last page. Other times the book just has a slightly dreary, depressing
feel. The galloping pace of the other books has slowed to a trot here, and
parts of it do seem long, as if we're reading all about Harry "just
hanging out" instead of having his usual adventures. Reading in detail about
Harry cleaning up an old house, for example - housekeeping is still
housekeeping, magical or no, and I'm not very interested in doing it or
reading about other people doing it.
A few other changes in this book
- the "real" world comes much more in to play rather than the
fantasy universe of the previous books, and Harry has apparently been taken
off his meds. I know that he had a lot to be grumpy in this book, especially
with being a teenager and all, but the sudden change in his character seemed
too drastic. He goes from being a warm-hearted, considerate person to someone
who will bite his best friend's heads off over nothing. It just seemed like
it didn't fit with his character, like he turned into a walking cliché of the
"angry teen" overnight.

The "real" story seemed to
happen in the last 1/3 of the book, and this part I loved. I actually liked
the ending (and yes, I cried!) as sad as it was. It packed a punch and it
made me care about the story even more. Still a really good book, with some
editing it would have been great.
