写简评一般可以有这样三个步骤:介绍--评价--推荐
(一)介绍
"介绍"是指对所评的书的内容作言简意赅的概括叙述，让读者对该书的内容有一个大概的了解。如书评《难忘<南京情调>》是这样介绍的:"《南京情调》收入64篇文章，20世纪上半叶社会各界名流笔底的南京昔日景观，风土人情，大多风流倜傥见性情;80帧照片，让50年前的古都旧影清晰再现，金陵旧时影像，幅幅沧海桑田显趣味。"
(二)评价
"评价"可以是总括全书作鸟瞰式的评述，如金圣叹评《鲁提辖拳打镇关西》一节中鲁达打店小二一段描写:"一路鲁达文中，皆用'只一掌'、'只一拳'、 '只一脚'，写鲁达阔绰，打人亦打得阔绰。" 三言二语就点出了《水浒》对鲁达的动作描写是充分个性化的。 "评价"是书评中最重要、最关键的部分，也是最见功力的部分，从这里可以见出一个人的思想水平、艺术素养、鉴赏能力、语言功夫等等。
(三)推荐
这是书评的结尾，有好书与读者共享的意思。如《难忘<南京情调>》是这样写的:"南京文化源远流长，底蕴深厚，值得特别关注。钟情于南京文化的人，即便不到南京，也能从《南京情调》中体味一番南京情调。"

From far away you share this moment with me.
Mid-Autumn Festival
海上生明月，天涯共此时。
A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day;
The mourner’s heart is going to break on his way.
Where can a wineshop be found to drown his sad hours
A cowherd points to a cot’ mid apricot flowers.
清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。
借问酒家何处有，牧童遥指杏花村。
