How to prepare a literature review writing

Before we begin to explain, you must be sure that you understand what a literature review writing really is. Because most students, when their teacher has asked them to write a literature review assignment, they would think: “This is my lucky day! I love literature!”. If that’s your case, and next thing you know you go to your bookcase and take out a book with your favourite story and you start writing about how much you liked it, you are on the wrong way.
The thing is, a literature review writing is not a book review and is not a literary essay. Your literature review should not focused on giving your opinion on a certain literary work. In fact, the whole concept of “literature” implied is different, since literature reviews can survey scholarly articles, books and other sources (e.g. thesis, conference proceedings), always relevant to a particular issue, theory or area of research. Then, it provides a description, summary, and critical evaluation of each work.
