Summary/Abstract: The increasing development of online media and the emergence and evolution of Web 2.0 platforms created a space where communication is not one-way, as in traditional media, but one focused on users. Within a mass communication system not anymore based on gatekeepers, as before, many media texts whose genres were established in the old communication paradigm pass to the territory of the new one, suffering changes at all their levels. In this context, this paper aims to analyze different types of online 'book reviews' compared to the traditional ones towards establishing a series of constant structural, linguistic, and stylistic features that define such user generated texts in relation to the latter.
