This paper should be approximately two full-typed pages (not including a title page and reference page) with a title page, introduction, body, conclusion, and references.

Introduction: The length of an introduction is usually one paragraph for a journal article review and two or three paragraphs for a more comprehensive book review. Include a few opening sentences that announce the author(s) and the title, and briefly explain the text’s topic.

Body: Within the body’s context, present the aim of the text and summarize the main finding or key argument. For concise critical reviews (one page or less) where your comments will be briefer, include a paragraph of positive aspects and another negative. § You can also include recommendations for how the text can be improved in terms of ideas, research approach; theories or frameworks used can also be included in the critique section. This can be a positive or negative evaluation or, as is usually the case, a mixed response.

Conclusion This is usually a concise paragraph. § Restate your overall opinion of the text. § Briefly present recommendations. § If necessary, some further qualification or explanation of your judgment can be included—finally, your reference page.
