3.2. Best Book Review
Selection and Assessment: Which of those book reviews do you feel is the best that you've written this semester, and why? Remember that a complete answer is better than a short answer, focus on your writing, and give at least two reasons to support your assessment.- I think 'BR6:1*I Wish* is the best book review of all because the story is about getting too much freedom. It makes people greedy. In the end, people are disgusted with too much freedom and people want to go back to usual life. I could reconfirm the good point of normal life. In addition, I could write my opinion about freedom and the word count is best of all. So, I select this of all book reviews.
