The analysis section needs to have at least 450 words. List each point and answer it. When you make a point, also provide concrete evidence to back it up. Do not merely report what the author says. In your own words, report the points you think the author is trying to make. This is the most important part of your review. Here you give your specific judgment about the extent to which the book was “good” or “bad”. You need to cover the following points:
1. What is the authors argument? Provide two or three sentences.
2. How is the book organized?
3. What is the author’s purpose in writing the book?
4. What is the intended audience of the book?
5. Does the author cover all the points which you think should have been covered? Is anything left out? Does anything not really fit?
6. Is the author biased for or against any particular viewpoint?
7. Is the author easy to follow and understand? How effective is the author’s writing style?
8. Is the book effectively organized?
9. Was there a real need for this book?
10. How effectively does the author prove his argument? Pay particular attention to the evidence the author uses to reach his conclusions. What kind of evidence is used? Is the evidence appropriate? Is any possible evidence omitted?
