Bob's feedback:

"It's always important to recognize that books that aren't labeled as "classics" can hold as much or more value than those most often taught in schools. Your enthusiasm for this book definitely comes across well.

At times you tend to stray off-topic in a way that can throw the reader off -- for example, mentioning name-brand clothing in your conclusion or King Arthur when discussing women's roles.

You mention character development in your conclusion, so it would be nice to have some solid examples of arcs in the body paragraphs.

There are a number of errors scattered throughout the paper. There are also some awkwardly worded sentences. While your enthusiasm is great, toning down the less-formal language will make it sound more like you're presenting a measured review rather than simply gushing."
