Critically Assessing A Book

closeline · 2012-11-08 19:36:47

Just looking for a bit of help here. When you are asked to critically assess a book I presume you are not just to give a summary of a book and go through each section. Just unsure how I should do it. Would be great to get some advice.

"To assess critically is to read a work with a critical eye, pointing out negative and positive parts in order to help better the piece"
