Assignment: Write a book review in the ballpark of 500 words. In this review you must either recommend or advise against a peer choosing this novel.We have several resources for writing a book review. The resource I'd like everyone to heavily rely on is Write a Book Review with Rodman Philbrick. Go to the site and follow at least the first four steps. We'll see about the last step, "Publishing Online." I want to have you share your reviews, but with the uncertain state of the servers over the next few weeks I think we may be limited.
I'll have a print version of his advice in case we have problems accessing the computer. Writer's Inc is also a great resources.
Lastly, you can find many book reviews at Teen Ink. These are not my favorite reviews, as they tend to run short and rely too heavily on unexplained praise, but feel free to visit to get a better picture of the genre.
