· place the book (and/or author) and draw comparisons within the author's own body of work and within the larger body of other books in the same vein
· aim for approximately equal parts synopsis and commentary/critique -- including what and *how* the author does best -- or worst
· accompanied by a rating of 1 to 5 stars (1/2 star ratings okay)
