This is a BOOK CRITIQUE in which you demonstrate that you have read the book,
understand it, and can discuss it intelligently. So:
Briefly summarize the main theme(s), or else some set of ideas that struck YOU as
important. (REMEMBER: A book critique IS NOT a book report)
Use these GUIDELINES ; You shouldn't write the
paper "by the numbers" (that is, don't just list the numbered issues--rather,
use this guideline to help you think through your critique).
If you have any questions, ask.
