Exercise #3

1) Little Brother by Cory Doctorow
2) Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler
3) The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

Requirements:
1) Use of quotations makes the review strong; it shows that a lot of thought has gone into the review. (The Fault in Our Stars uses this well.)
2) Don't use suggestions, as in "I think that...." or "This book would be better if...."  I don't like suggestions, I like assertiveness in reviews.
3) Talk about the author's use of words and diction in his/her writing. Be sure not to make the whole review a summary of the book.
