posting a review of a book

Suppose you read a book you like & want to post a review online. (You'd be doing the author a big favour; reviews help sales!) Your review can be very short. Example: "I enjoyed this. It's one of the most intriguing mysteries I've read in a long time."  Or your review can be longer.  

Once you know what you want to say,  how do you post your review online? Following are three ways.  In each case, I give a link to my 1940s novel Consider the Sunflowers--as an example & because I'd be thrilled if you reviewed it :)
