Hi Olivia Reyes Carbonell You are pretty close here!

First, we are wanting to set the name property right under the class, not the method. For example:

class Book:
    title = "The Lord of The Rings"
    author = "J.R.R. Tolkien"

Then we can add our method under the properties within the class:

    def review(self):
        return "The book {}, is an excellent book that I would recommend to anyone who loves to read fantasy and adventure books!".format(self.title)

Calling the review method would then return the string:

The book The Lord of The Rings, is an excellent book that I would recommend to anyone who loves to read fantasy and adventure books!

Hopefully, this example helps give you an idea of the formatting! :D Happy coding!
