Is there a way to add a post to a category page without adding the category in the post. For example i have a category for a certain author and have all her books as post in the category page but then i have review post for the author but i don't want to add it to the category because i don't want it to be added to the list and review post page is setup differently from the rest of the post page setup. So is there a way to do this with tags or a plugin, or subcategories(least desirable becuase i would have to change each one of the post page code so it would look like the review page).
add a post to a category without adding the category (9 posts)

Guess you could add a 2nd Loop to retrieve and display that one post for the author. Could use a custom field to mark which post that is then use the meta_key/meta_value argument in the query. See the template tag, query_posts(), for details on those arguments.

Also there is more than one category will this make the post show up all the categories? -
It should.

Would say yes.

Okay...maybe someone else can offer a suggestion.

The easier way would be with Custom fields as MichaelH mentioned above.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields - where you can control what custom fields or if any is shown on the page/postOr creating a taxonomy system for your posts/reviews, but that's a somewhat more complicated for newbies to code directly, recommend using a plugin instead such as -
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/taxonomy-list-shortcode/
or others in http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/taxonomy
Then you could call what taxonomy you want for specific pages
