Book Evaluation

Here are some things to help you get started on your evaluation of the book we just finished, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian.

Here are a few questions to think about to get you started with the evaluation. DON'T answer all these questions in your essay. Think about them to get you started and try to incorporate the answers into your writing:

  • What did you like or dislike about it?
  • Was it well written?
  • Were the characters interesting?
  • Could the story be set in another time or place? Would that change the story?
  • Why do you think the author wrote this?

And here is a checklist to help with book reviews, but you might find it helpful to get you started with your evaluation.

  • Name the book and the author
  • Give a short summary of what happened in the book (don't give it all away though!)
  • Give your opinion of the book (Examples: exciting, interesting, boring, educational)
  • Support your opinion with examples from the book
  • Tell your readers whether you would recommend the book and why or why not
You may also focus on a particular aspect of the book (like the characters, the setting, racial issues, how it made you think differently, or something else you want to focus on).

Please do a good job and take your time with this essay. This should be a full essay, not just a paragraph.
