Book Review

Use the links below to help write your book review. These sites offer guidelines to follow for writing a review. Some of them will present information that seems contradictory (such as how long a review should be). The general guidelines are more helpful than any stipulations about length. Take note of the common themes discussed in each of the sites. Compile a "to do" checklist for yourself in preparation for writing your review. Your review will end up being between 2 and 3 pages long (1.5 spaced, no font larger than times size 12, no margin changes).
