A book review

Ron Chernow, Alexander Hamilton (New York, New York: The Penguin Press, 2004), pp. 832.

After determining your areas of interest in the book, organize your thoughts, write them down in an outline and incorporate them into your paper. This will help you to focus your attention more clearly when writing your review. You are encouraged to write your book review over a suitable period of time. Do not wait until the night before your review is due to start working on your paper. Failure to hand in the book review on time and/or submission of an incomplete paper will result in a substantial deduction from your grade as explained in the class Syllabus. It should also be noted that late submissions are not eligible for resubmission with corrections for a higher grade. All students should be aware of the fact that poorly written reviews will be penalized for misspelled words and awkward syntax.
Your review should address the primary subject matter of the book, why you think it is important, with special emphasis on how it relates to American Government and the history of the United States. For example: If it is a recently published book, explain if the author is providing a new interpretation of the subject matter or simply rehashing established facts. To determine this, find out if the subject or topics in the book are based on recently uncovered materials or older documentation. If the material is more recent, it is highly probable that the book offers a new interpretation of its subject matter. This will be relevant to your review and should be noted. On the other hand, if the book is an older publication, identify it as a traditional interpretation or a work that is well known because of the reputation of the author or the subject matter. It will be very important for you to offer your opinion not only on the subject matter of the book, but also on how the author addresses the subject and how it relates to the history, evolution, and formation of America’s government.
