Bridget's feedback:

"You've crafted a solid draft that is ready to head into the latter stages of the writing process. Each paragraph shows good control over the structure and argumentation, beginning with a topic sentence that guides the reader's understanding and then moving into a focused discussion. The writing itself shows good pacing, flow, and sentence variety, creating a dynamic reading experience that helps inspire the reader's interest in the book.

I recommend some focused work with the lower-order concerns, including a careful proofread to catch occasional minor errors. Make sure to italicize the name of the book each time it appears.

I also encourage you, at the sentence level, to consider revising or moving away from some broad generalizations that create gaps in persuasiveness. In particular, a reader may wonder at the need to claim most books based on true stories are "dull or corny" (if you must, compare it to a specific book you've read that was boring to create a representative of the genre). On a similar note, I recommend against the Calvin Klein dig, as it relies on stereotype without anything to back it up. Your argumentation is built up solidly enough to have no need for this."
