Well...I asked. And just when you thought it was this long, complicated answer
To be a little more helpful, though, they want people who have education and/or experience in a literary profession critiquing books and book reviews. I'm a librarian, so I read about five review journals a month (one of which I write for), and learned how to properly write book reviews in grad school. I found AOL BookReporter's teen site first (my specialty is young adult literature) and wrote to their editorial assistant asking if they needed reviewers. They did, and I've been reviewing for them for a year and a half. There's no money involved, but I do get free books, often before they're published, and it looks really good on my resume.
