Here are the instructions from the professor:
Pick one book from the list below and write an overview about the book and why did you pick this book plus what you want to learn from this book by reading it and writing about it in the future in your book Appraisal paper which is due at the end of the semester.

– Make sure you write an overview about the book not a summary, you don’t need to read the whole book now you can read a summary about it if available online.
– Also, mention what is your expectation from this book like what you want to learn from it.
– Don’t forget to include two other books from the list that you want to compare and contrast with the first book you chose to write about in your book appraisal. You can just write the name of the books and the authors at the end of your book appraisal proposal. Also you can write briefly about the books (for example: the name of the book, the authors, the theme, and a few sentences about it in general) it’s up to you at the end be creative.
– All this must be in one page, no more than one page will be allowed.
