The goal of a book/movie review is to display substantial knowledge of the book or movie’s content, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as the ability to think critically about an academic argument. A book review should answer three questions:
What is the writer of the book trying to communicate?
How clearly and convincingly did the author get his/her message across to the reader?
Was the message worth reading?
The above document suggests ways to think about and organize your book/movie review in the final week of POL 300. This handout provides instruction and a suggested list of resources. You will choose either one book OR one movie to review. Other books and movies may be chosen with approval by your instructor.
