1.name/author of book
2. short synopsis (optional, maybe just a par. or two)
3. what are the main themes and issues in the book?
4. pros
5. cons
6. how does it compare to the author's other work? (optional)
7. how does it compare to other books that deal with the same themes/issues? (optional)
8. how did it affect you?
