Novel- True literature, and usually has more pages than your average book.
Memoir- The story of someone's life at a specific time. Example: A story written about the time you lived on the streets... A memoir isn't exactly an autobiography, because an autobiography is about the author's life. A memoir is about a certain point in their life.
Book- A book can be a picture book, chapter book, puzzle book, anything!
I hope I helped!

A novel (from French nouvelle Italian "novella", "new") is an extended, generally fictional narrative in prose.
A memoir is an account of the personal experiences of an author. An autobiography. A biography or biographical sketch.
A book is a set of written, printed, or blank pages fastened along one side and encased between protective covers.
So, both novels and memoirs are books....novels are usually fiction, memoirs are true.

Book is a general term. Both novels and memoirs are books. A novel is fiction i.e. it is a made up story. A memoir is an autobiography of a person i.e. it is the story of a person's life or part of a person's life.

A novel is a new book based on the latin word "nova" which means new. A memoir I think might be a lot like an autobiography but I'm not sure. I don't think I have to explain what a book is though, lol.

Novel is written in very narrative way very much explained, Memoir is the same way that you write everyday in your dairy and a book is something that has combination of both these stuffs along with dialogues.

if memory serves....a novel is a work of fiction(stuff that is made up and never happened), a memoir is a recap of someone's life (it actually happened) and a book is mostly a means to get information (history, cooking, hobbies, ect.)
