Please help me, thank you x 100~
All three of your sentences are ambiguous. "share my opinion" can mean "give my opinion to you" or "have the same opinion as me." "Share my experience" does, too.

I don't know what you mean by #3. I'd never use "share" in that way, and I'm a highly educated native speaker whose current and previous jobs depend on precision of language.

It seems very awkward to say "Share the book I like." Do you just mean "Tell you the name of the book that I like"?

tl;dr Please clarify ambiguities so we can help.

In the meantime, check SpaceALC for usage: “share opinion”の検索結果(12 件):英辞郎 on the Web:スペースアルク

SpaceALC is an excellent resource for sample Japanese sentences. Basically, it's a superior "dictionary." More of a highly complex and very organized phrasebook.
