My prompt

"I've read the [fiction/non-fiction] book titled [Book Title] by [Author]. The book is written in [English/Chinese].
I would like the book review to be generated in [English/Chinese].

Here are some key highlights and notes I took while reading:
[Insert your highlights/notes]
My notes:
 
Highlights:
 

Using these highlights and notes, please generate a comprehensive review covering the following elements:
[For fiction books]
  • A brief synopsis of the book's plot
  • Your overall thoughts and opinion on the book
  • Analysis of the book's strengths and weaknesses
  • Discussion of major themes, characters, or ideas explored
  • 3-5 relevant quotes from the book (selected from the highlights/notes provided)
  • Your recommendation on whether others should read this book
[For non-fiction books]
  • A brief overview of the book's main topics/subjects
  • Your overall thoughts and opinions on the book
  • Analysis of the book's strengths, weaknesses, and unique insights
  • Discussion of major concepts, arguments, or ideas explored
  • Actionable takeaways - what are 3-5 key things the reader could do/implement based on this book?
  • 3-5 relevant quotes from the book (selected from the highlights/notes provided)
  • Your recommendation on whether others should read this book
Please organize the review coherently with an introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. Keep the tone engaging yet analytical. Around [500 words for fiction/600 words for non-fiction] would be an ideal length.
The review itself adopting a casual, conversational voice that with personal anecdotes/stories, jokes/humor, and an overall friendly, unfiltered tone as if having a candid discussion with a friend about the book. While hitting all the serious review elements listed in the prompt, the language and style will be a bit more relaxed and personable.
If I give examples on my notes, please be sure to use at least one of my examples.
Some tone examples of this could include:
Adding personal anecdotes like "Not gonna lie, this reminded me of that time I went backpacking in Peru and..." Injecting humor and jokes like "Bro, if the main character was any dumber I'd have to water them twice a week." Having an open, unfiltered tone like "Look, this book had its flaws but I still ended up loving it for X reasons..."
直接以我的人称说明“我很喜欢阅读关于效率提升类的书籍,这与我的兴趣有关。”
尽量避免使用网络流行语,比如“这就是YYDS”之类,不要使用。
