Write a book review for ″Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese″ using the book review resources and outline in the ″Powerpoints, Readings and Videos″ folder for this week′s module. At a minimum you will want to provide a summary and a critical evaluation of the book. Use the resources provided in this module to select the areas/or questions you want to address and then develop your outline prior to writing the review. The summary should not be the major part of the review, but does need to establish the background for the book and identify the author′s thesis (purpose) for writing the book. The critical evaluation should include your thoughts, reactions and responses to the book. This should include your evaluation of how well the author met or did not meet the thesis of the book and your evaluation of selected elements of the book. You do not have to write about every event or character in the book. However, you will want to make a connection in your book review to the Global Health themes that we′ve discussed throughout the course Minimum number of word for this assignment is 1,500 single spaced. Less than 1500 will have point deductions, more is acceptable Use APA style for both in text citation and in the reference section Cite all sources of information or data used in your review that are not your own If you quote from the book under review, simply follow the quotation with the page number(s) in parentheses. For example: The author argues that “American women seem to have preferred careers over parenting” (p. 345). Quotes that go over three lines in length should be single-spaced in a “block quote” format with the page citation at the end of the block quote. If you have to cite other sources for quotations or facts, use APA citation style. Reviews should be written in a formal manner. As with other written assignments, be sure to avoid using colloquialisms (“a lot” or “etc.”), contractions (“cannot” instead of “can’t”) and avoid using the first person (I, you, we, us).
