Is there a way to add a separator in the book details area?

I have a custom long text field that holds my reviews for books. In the book details area, the review field appears directly above the comments field. However, there's no separation between the texts and it gets confusion sometimes to differentiate between the review text or comments text. So I was wondering if there is a way to add a separator between the two long text fields or add a "Comment" heading above the comment field.

You can customize where the header of the custom column will apeear in Preferences->Add your own columns->Edit column (set the header to be on top of the text)

And then you can move it below the builtin comments in Preferences->Look & Feel->book Details, so the ehader will act as a separator.
