Best Answer

A genre is just a title that we put on a book to make it easier to find the kind of book we are looking for or to just plain organize them in a book store. its kinda like a web. the two top categories are Fiction and Non-Fiction. Fiction being stories that are made up and Non-fiction being stories that actually happened. some examples of sub-categories are mystery, romance, children, thriller, suspense, literary fiction, fantasy, and Science Fiction. one book could fall under many sub-categories. it is all based on what the story is about. if it is about one thing you can figure out what the exact genre is. if you still need help some authors have web pages and you might can find it on there.
