GENERAL REVIEW FORMAT:
* Plot/Story line: what we liked about the plot/story; what was not so appealing; where we felt the author missed out (plot inconsistencies, whatever didn't add up etc.)
* Characterization: our analysis of the story's characters one by one - what makes them tick; how well they have been depicted; their role in the story.
* Setting: how well the author has succeeded in drawing us into the place/time period of the story, whether it has been convincing or not.
* Language/Stylistic elements: humor, style of writing
* The key message/philosophy underlying the story: the main point that we think the author is trying to convey. This is just guesswork, since we don't really know what the writer intended. There are no right or wrong answers.
* Parallels with other books, or real life situations: how do you relate to it. Is it realistic, have you come across any of these situations in your life? This is just to share our experiences.
* Questions we may have: whatever comes to mind - anything that has sparked our interest while reading this book. Sometimes it could be what you did not understand, how it not fit in or any thing you would like clarified from the group.
