I don't know how recent is recent, but probably the most influential
work on the genre structure of book reviews is Ken Hyland's chapter on
the subject in Disciplinary Discourses (2000). Françoise Salager-Mayer
and Ana Moreno are other authors who come to mind. They do not employ
computational techniques, as far as I know, but Hyland's original
approach was based on what boiled down to a paper-based corpus
analysis of evaluation.

Best,

Alon
