how long does the book review have to be?

J said...

3 Pages double spaced. It should:

1. give a brief summary
2. discuss its major points/evaluations/analyses
3. evalate the authors accuracy and point of view... do you agree or disagree? Is this a unique point of view? Just a vivid description? Unique analysis?
4. Judge the books merits and pitfalls.
