How to Leave a Book Review on Amazon
Did you enjoy a book? Here's how to let the world know about it!
Hey all… Leaving a book rating or review on Amazon can take as little as four seconds and can really help spread the word about a book that you enjoyed. Authors love it when readers do this and it really shows support and encourages them to do the thing you want—write more books! It’s really a winning situation for readers and writers.
As a reader, you have two choices: leave a rating or leave a review.
Rating vs Review
A rating is the quickest and easiest option for a reader. With a rating, you simply indicate how well you liked the book on a scale from 1 to 5 stars. One star is the lowest rating, five stars is highest.
A review includes a rating and gives you the opportunity to share your thoughts about the book with others on Amazon.
How to Leave a Rating or a Review + Rating
You can leave a rating or review from the Amazon store in your web browser or from your Kindle.
From your web browser
If you didn’t purchase the book:
Log in to your Amazon account.
If you received the book as a gift (or, in keeping with the theme of MFS, stole it) then find the book by entering the title in the search bar. On the product page, scroll down to Customer Reviews, and click “See customer reviews.”
Next, the Customer Reviews page will display. Click “Write a customer review” to display the page where you can leave a review.
Go to the next section, “Writing a Review From Your Web Browser.”
If you purchased the book:
Click Account & Lists, then click Orders, and search for the book in your list of orders.
Click the “Write a product review” button.

Go to the next section, “Writing a Review From Your Web Browser.”
