specific incident or person that the book is about.*In your opinion, does the author show
bias either for or against the subject of the book or do you feel that the author stays pretty
neutral showing both positives and negative sides of the subject? Please back up your
opinion with at least 2 examples.*In section 4, answer these questions:-Who do you believe
the intended audience for your book is?-Would you recommend this book to next
semester’s students who want to know more about your book’s subject matter? Why or why
not?These book reviews should only be about three pages long.*** Summary – completely
meets the page limit and does an excellent job summarizing the book.*** Textbook – gives
the chapter and pages from the textbook that correspond with the subject of the book being
reviewed. Does a good job of tying the two books together***Bias – gives a nice full
paragraph with examples examining the book for bias.***Audience – gives a nice full
paragraph analyzing who the appropriate audience for the book is.
