WRITING a CRITIQUE
GENERAL COMMENTS
A. A critique does two main things:
1. States the author's purpose
2. Evaluates how well (in the reviewer's opinion) the author has
succeeded.
B. A critique is not a report or summary. A brief summary of what the book
covers may be justified but should never be the major portion of your
critique.
A CRITIQUE SHOULD INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
I. DESCRIPTIVE STATEMENT
A. Information about the book and the author (who is s/he, what else has
s/he written, and so on).
B. General subject matter of the book
II. STATEMENT OF THE AUTHOR'S PURPOSE
III. STATEMENT OF THE THEME AND THESIS
A. Theme: the subject or topic
B. Thesis: what the author is tying to say or prove about the theme.
IV. PRINCIPAL TOPICS DISCUSSED
A. List them
B. Summarize the author's ideas and conclusions
V. EVALUATION
A. Content
1. Scope--is the topic too broad? Too narrow?
2. Validity--are the facts gievn verifiable and/or documented?
3. Interest--is the topic of interest? To whom?
4. Usefulness--is the information gievn useful?
B. Style
1. Objectivity--is the author biased?
2. Clarity--is the writing clear?
3. Literary merit--is the book well-written?
4. Your comparisons, comments, and conclusions
