   My latest review does not meet quality standards.

   It's the first time any new article of mine received such a designation. 
   
   What can I do to improve it?
   
   Thanks.

      I do book reviews regularly, including on Hubpages.
      I have several thoughts. One, poor grammar. Too many sections broken up by commas that should be strung into a single or several separate sentences.
      Great graphics. Not helped by the bullet points.
      I would recommend breaking up the two book reviews into two separate articles. Then you don't risk being hit with a spam penalty for multiple Amazon links.

      I agree with Mr. Stok that as book reviews, there needs to be more about the BOOKS.
      You're free to do a separate Hub on the author himself.

   Nice article, but a little short. Here are a few things I noticed.
   
   You need more content to enforce the two Amazon ads.
   
   You need to show that you have the legal right to use Chris Ayers' copyrighted images in your commercial content. “Fair Use” could be mentioned but that only might apply to non-commercial articles.
   
   Remember that since you are receiving revenue, it’s considered commercial. I’ve contacted the author for permission in cases such as that when I needed approval.
   
   Subtitles need to be in ASA title capitalization. “Living with Leukemia” needs the word “with” capitalized.
   
   You may want to write more about the books. Your focus was more on Chris Ayers as an author, and that would get your Amazon ads of the books snipped. Amazon ads need to be 100% related to the title and subject of your article.
   
   The title needs to make it clear that you are reviewing two books because you are listing them in Amazon ads. Otherwise the ads will be snipped for that reason. A better title might be: “The Daily Zoo: A Review of Two Illustrated Books by Chris Ayers”
   
   Note that I included the word “illustrated” in the title. That could also help with SEO.
   
   You might also try putting the description of each book in their respective Amazon capsules, instead of making them a single bullet point above the capsule. But that’s not necessary. Empty Amazon capsules work fine too (with the text outside it). I’m in the process of testing it both ways.
   
   Good luck.
