Book Reviews the help

The Help
Three ordinary women are about to take one extraordinary step. Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger. Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has gone. Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken. Minny, Aibileen’s best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody’s business, but she can’t mind her tongue, so she’s lost yet another job.

How to create a free website for book reviews?

I have a school project/ competition where I need to create a website. Everyone in my class got the same task and the best one will receive a price. I'd like to make a website similar to "rotten tomatoes" but with books, and gather reviews from critics and get a rating for the book in %. What's the best, free, way to complete for that task? It needs to have the ability to "search". All help would be appreciated :)

I think the best way to do this for free would be a blog! Try http://wordpress.com/ to sign up for a free blog. You can choose a theme and then start writing your reviews! There's a search function built in to most blogs and people are able to post their comments on each of your blog posts.

Fast food nation book reviews that are slanted?

I can't find reviews of the book that are written from a non- supporting standpointm in other words, do not feel the same way about fast food and its industry. PLease help!

Nobody thinks a fast food diet is healthy, even folks who always eat it. Still will check for you at Amazon, in the Books category... http://www.amazon.com There are over 600,000 books that at least mention the words 'fast' and 'food,' though not always together. In response to my putting 'fast food' in the second search box up top, I got mostly cookbooks, but the one that may appeal to you the most is this: "Fast Food: 75 + Amazing Recipe Makeovers of Your Fast Food Restaurant Favorites" by Devin Alexander, 240 pgs published '06. It's title is the closest I saw to a more direct endorsement of fast food. It was starred so there will be reviews under it. Just click on it to separate it and keep scrolling down... Best of luck. ADD: All book reviews are slanted. I used to write them & more before retiring. END 2nd ADD: Goodreads reviews the book in same lines it's written. END Checked... curiosity of a reporter and writer.

Need good book reviews by educated people for Something Wicked This Way Comes?

Im writing an essay for AP english and one of the requirements is to have at least 3 book reviews but educated people you know someone who has a doctorate or even a masters, please help.

Your library probably has a set of the series "Contemporary Literary Criticism", or online access to it (via the library website), or something similar to it. Ask your librarian how to find or access that. You can't "just glooble it," because it's available only by paid subscriptions, but your library probably has a subscription that you can use for free. I am flabbergasted that your school has let you into AP English without telling you stuff like this. You should sue them.

Should one annotate scholarly book reviews, specifically articles?

I can see how annotations for book reviews may help other readers get an opinion on the book reviews, but is it normal practice among scholars to review/evaluate someone else’s review? What substantial or practical benefits would there be for this? Lenlen, It would be quite a cerebral calisthenics to battle on reviews. lol. But have you actually read an annotation on a book review? Is this normal practice? I would be very interested in reading one.

I don't see anything wrong with annotating any review material. It maybe an intellectual exercise which gives satisfaction to the annotator, but more than that, it might widen more the horizon of the original reviewer; gives more room for scholarly expression and/or inquiry. A "review" of another "review" might shed light on items unclear or misunderstood. The danger though, is reviewers may engage in endless evaluation and reevaluation, especially, if the first reviewer doesn't or can't accept the "review" on his "review?" That would give the readers an array of intellectual menus to feast on. Well, that's merry, a lot of cerebral calesthenics, and is that not a benefit? How about aking the writer ot the material in review?Thanks, I can only read reviews and cannot write one.
