Exercise 1:
Based on the theory of how to write a good book/story critique/review, write a critique
of the article “One Picture is Worth a Thousand Diets” by W. Charisse Goodman.
Consider the following guidelines when writing the critique.
Guidelines:
0) A book/story review, like any other piece of writing, should observe the basic
requirements of literary discourse. There should be:
a) An introduction that includes either a thesis or a premise from which
your thesis will later emerge
b) A middle section in which you give a brief synopsis of the book and
develop your arguments
c) Brief conclusion

1) What does the story cover? Summarize briefly. When reviewing fiction, never
give away the ending or the intricacies of the plot that are meant to surprise the
reader.
2) Who is the author and what are his or her biases?
3) What are the major points that the author makes in the book?
4) Do you think these ideas are correct? Do you accept them? Why or why not?
Specifically:
4.A. Does the author substantiate his or her points satisfactorily with
information, logic, examples?
4.B Do the author’s ideas agree with your experience and knowledge?

5) Are there special features about this book which interest or disturb you, such as
unusual information or new ways of looking at an issue?
6) Are there questions raised for you in this book which the author does not
answer?
7) If you have read other books on the same general topic, how does this book
differ from that of the others?
8) Are there any additional comments you should include in order to make the
essence of this book understood by someone reading your review?
