Your book review could summarise the main points of the book; discuss how the authors' arguments fit into other writing on the subject; discuss the range of sources/evidence used by the author and how they have contributed to their argument; note the response the book received from other writers; explain the strengths and weaknesses of the book from your point of view. It may be helpful to look at other people's reviews/review articles in the main journals eg: English Historical Review, Journal of British Studies, Parliamentary History, Historical Journal etc. See also the Reviews in History website.
