Book Review Homework

[kendall]

Hi folks,

As you know your book review is due on Monday the 16th of January. It should be no longer than 650 words (I think that's what was agreed, it is now) so you'll have to be creative.

Here is a link to the example I read. I have now started the book so I'll let you know if I agree with the review:

www.guardian.co.uk/books/2011/jul/22/bed-david-whitehouse-first-review

Basic things to cover:

Setting
Central characters
Themes
Your opinion
Target audience

The aims of the book review are as follows:

demonstrate understanding
offer opinion
justify reasons why it would be appealing to a particular audience

Your piece can be typed or hand written. Hope this helps. If not, post away...

Happy Christmas!

Such enthusiasm Laura! But good for you for giving it a chunk of your time. I will gladly read it at the current word count and edit as appropriate.
