I have found that how-to articles especially about SEO and health and wellness seem to be winning hubs monitarily. Does anyone know if there's any money in book and/or movie reviews?
Personally I think the subjects you have mentioned are two competitive.
I wish book and movie reviews were profitable, I ahve never had much luck with them though, I think it is again to do with the fact that there is just so much competiiton in this sector.
I am guessing it would depend on how you choose to review the book. I am currently reading a book that has many characters and was getting confused as to who there characters were, so I looked it up online. The only source available was Spark Notes, and you had to pay to see much of anything. I found it very unuseful, and have been considering writing some of my own reviews with a bit of detailed information, such as first and last names of characters, along with their initial description.
BTW: What are Spark Notes?
@ Ivorwen
Sparknotes are like summary "cheatsheets" tailored for students who are reading books that are (on certain levels) hard to comprehend, especially classics

Make sure it's a popular book, or you won't be getting any traffic. Make your title match the exact search phrase you'd expect someone to use when looking for a review on that book.

I've attempted 2 hubs that are book reviews. I enjoyed writing them both, as I love to read, but neither has really gotten any traffic... and the scores are lower than I'm used to seeing. It was my first attempt at book reviews, and I'm wondering if I've missed the mark somewhere.Any...

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to put this, but is it possible to have a Book Reviews category? I have typically written quite a few book reviews on Hubpages and currently have an account dedicated to reviews, so I was wondering if this would be something that's useful to others as well...
