Bridget's feedback:

"Your use of examples from the novel helps your reader get a good sense of your experience with the novel's ups and downs. Your later paragraphs on setting and character show a good balance of summary and analysis; I recommend using those as a model to streamline the plot/story discussion, which is currently two paragraphs with a lot of plot detail. Rethinking the reorganization and purpose of those first two paragraphs might help in this; for example, maybe para. 2 can present all the most important aspects of the story you think the reader will need to decide if the book is for them. Then, consider starting para. 3 with "The most exciting time of the book was..." (currently halfway through that paragraph). This can help keep the focus on reviewing and helping the reader decide if they should pick it up for themselves.

I'd also like to note that the ending feels very abrupt (or perhaps this is not a complete draft). I recommend summarizing your feelings on the book once more for the reader in a concluding paragraph, keeping in mind that the reader knows a little more about the book now thanks to your review--use this new "position" of your reader to decide what to emphasize in a conclusion."
