Readers' advisory is a service performed by most public libraries. It is usually rooted in a non-judgmental assessment of the personal preferences of the reader through a series of questions. The assessment focuses on reader likes and dislikes with regard to a number of factors, including subject, reading level, genre, writing style, the level of characterization, plot elements, storyline, pace, tone, frame, and setting.
