As of April 2026, Book Review is a WordPress blog plugin with 300 active installations and a 4.9/5 rating from 17 reviews. It has been downloaded 42K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 3.5+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2013. Last updated 8 years ago — may have compatibility concerns. Top alternative: SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle.
NOTE: Given the imminent release of the Gutenberg editor in WordPress 5.0, the Book Review plugin is no longer being maintained. It has been replaced by Book Review Block, which is intended to be used together with the Gutenberg editor.
Book Review saves you time when writing your reviews. No more copying and pasting or manually entering the details of a book. Instead, you provide the ISBN, and Book Review will automatically populate information like title, author, and even the cover photo for you.
Book Review can help increase traffic to your site by making your Google search result stand out from the rest. And that means more users clicking through to visit your site.
See the Screenshots tab for an example of what your Google search result might look like.
