Like a movie trailer, a book talk should "sell" a book to the reader. It should hook the reader by giving them some interesting highlights, but not a full summary. Ending with a cliffhanger is a great way to tap into the reader's curiosity.

Go to my book-talk page to read about the books I have read.
