It can help determine if there is a demand for the subject matter. Hint: if people are watching your channel and they are raving fans - they will also be interested in your booklets or book.

 Booklets can serve as promotional tools. Content creators can distribute them at events, conferences, or as part of marketing campaigns to generate interest in their work or services. They are smaller and more cost effective to produce than thicker or bigger books. 

Both work for the right audience. If you are passionate about a topic, consider writing a booklet first. Booklets can be designed to cater to a specific niche or audience with a particular interest in a topic.

If you received a free copy of the book, product, or film for review purposes or have any potential conflicts of interest, it’s important to disclose this information to maintain transparency.

Remember that product reviews are subjective, and your personal perspective is valuable. Be constructive in your criticism, providing reasons for your opinions. Your review should help potential readers decide whether the product is a good fit for them while respecting the creators effort and creativity.

Consider the target audience for the book, film or experience. Who would you recommend it to, and why? Mention if there are any content warnings or age appropriateness considerations. If there are trigger warnings, certainly mention them.

Comment on whether the book or film offered a fresh perspective or innovative ideas within its genre. Discuss any unique or creative elements that stood out. Give reasons a viewer or reader may benefit from reading or watching.

Explore the themes and messages conveyed in the story. What deeper meanings or lessons did you take away from your participation? Did watching or reading change the way you will forever think about a topic? Many books and movies have left lasting impressions on young minds.

Evaluate the book's plot structure, pacing, and how well it kept your interest. Mention if there were any plot twists or elements that surprised you. (Remember not to give away any spoilers.)

Some characters you are supposed to hate. Discuss instead the characters' development, complexity, and relatability. Did you find the characters believable and interesting?

Highlight any memorable or standout characters. (And, this could be a dispicable character that was unusually loathsome.)

It's never nice to comment on misspelled words or a word used incorrectly. Comment instead on the author's writing style. Was it well-crafted, engaging, or did it feel awkward or inconsistent?

Mention any notable literary devices or writing techniques used.

An evaluation review is where you rate a product or service.

Share your overall impression of the item or experience. Was it engaging, thought-provoking, entertaining, or disappointing?

Mention what you liked and disliked and give a score. (Example: on a scale of one to ten, ten being perfect and one being miserable, what number would give it?) The evaluation helps people know what to expect if they have a similar situation. 

Provide a concise summary of the book's plot, setting, and main characters. Avoid giving away major spoilers, but do give readers a sense of what the book is about.

Start with a brief introduction that includes the (product, service or experience) title, author, genre, or location. You can also provide some context about the author, type of product, landmark or other significance if it's relevant. This may entice the reader to want to connect for those reasons.

A well-written review for a book, product, service, or experience provides insights and information about that thing while offering your personal perspective. Your opinion matters to a person without your experience who is looking for validation for a purchase they are about to make.
