  1. i almost have the same problem as u but u can go to google and look for a history book or go to the library nways best of luck xo plzz answer my question

  2. A book review on a history book? Is your teacher from the fiery depths of h-e-double-hockey-sticks, or something? Well, I’m sorry.

    Ummm, well, in the intro you would obviously state your opinion on how helpful or saturated with good information the book is, and then the evaluation (probably about 3 paragraphs-that’s standard) would back up your opinion (otherwise known as your thesis) in the intro paragraph. Those three, or so, paragraphs would each include an example that supports your statement, and then have two or three sub-examples for that paragraph. I guess this is the part you’re having trouble with. If you’re against this history book, maybe a way that it’s bad is the information given is vague and you could give examples from throughout the book, and quote some passages, or something. If you’re for the book, then you’d do pretty much the same thing. And then in the conclusion, you revisit the thesis, and wrap the whole thing up and end it all with a period.

    I doubt this helped much, because you already knew most of this, but good luck on your devil book review, anyways.
