BOOK REVIEW:
The reviewer must demonstrate their credibility by making it clear that they have read the book and understand it. I recommend you follow this outline, but please submit the final copy in narrative form without the outline letters and numerals. Please spellcheck, grammar check, and proofread generally!

A. Does he/she teach? Write? Where? Living or dead?
