Charlie has covered most aspects. You could have a look at some of the previous discussions to get a flavour of how we do it - the December one on
The Scarlet Pimpernel is as good a one to look at as any. You can find the discussion listed under the Book Clubs.
What we really like of course is to keep the discussion going with new ideas and discussion points, so rather than dumping a book review down and then disappearing, it's really good if you can make a point or two, maybe respond to something someone else has said, and then put in something else a bit further down the thread.
When you are reading the chosen book, I find it useful to keep a little notebook and jot down points I think are important, whether on character development, or the writer's style/way of dealing with a situation, or whatever. Don't worry, you don't get marked out of 10!
The main thing is to enjoy the whole thing, and then come back next month and do it again.
