edit data

John is an attorney / author who lives in Kansas City with his wife and two children. He has always been an avid reader of anything he could get his hands on.

After earning a B.A. in History during college, John went on to attend law school at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He has a strong interest in the "wheels of history" and in how different systems of government work (or don't). This is reflected in his writing. Science fiction, fantasy, and speculative fiction are his favorite genres to write in as the only limit they impose are the boundaries of his imagination. ...more

John, thank you. Part of my problem is I have this English degree, and I want to show it off!!! (I paid for it, I should use it) But I find my critique turns into analysis, and so I am on page 10 of how the use of dragons as a metaphor for freedom does not work before I delete everything and start over.

Aim more for "book review" and less for "Master's thesis". But you see all types. Some do the 6 word blurb while some analyze the font used in the title on the cover. I guess it matters how much time you have.(less)

I'm not sure there is one right way to do a review. I usually identify the genre and then try to give a general idea of the plot without including any spoilers. I include the aspects I liked, the ones I didn't, and then try to summarize by describing whether I enjoyed reading it or not. I hope this helps.(less)
