Book Reviews

I've always been really good at telling and describing in my writing, but not very good at analysis (80% of my college papers had "needs more analysis" as one of the comments).  I read a lot, but it's a very passive process.  I don't think a lot about why I did or didn't like a book, and I want to change that.  Since I tend to read genre fiction, which isn't necessarily very challenging, I'm going to challenge myself to write reviews and think more about why I did or didn't like the books I read.

To get me started, I found a couple resources for writing reviews; one is from enotes and one is from writing-world.com.
