A full book review may concern only one book. Its length is about 1500-2000 words. It should give readers an engaging, informative, and critical discussion of the work. The review should follow the Guidelines below.

The review should consider (please use as your outline):

    The intended audience for the book and who would find it useful
    The background of the author(s)
    The main ideas and major objectives of the book and how effectively these are accomplished
    The context or impetus for the book – – political controversy, implications of the book for research, policy, practice, or theory
    A comparison with other works on this subject
    Constructive comments about the strength and weaknesses of the book

    Your first and last name
    Your student id
    Author(s) or editor(s) first and last name(s) (please indicate if it is an edited book)

Your book report must be on a book, it cannot be on an article, report, etc. And of course, this book must be related to this course.
You MUST include a work cited page at the end of your report. Note that although this isn’t in the requirements listed on the syllabus, it is mandatory. Since you will have to compare your book to other works and books, you must cite all of the resources you have used. Failure to do so will result in a 20 point grade deduction.
