    Critical Book Review 1. Introduction “Death ends a life‚ not a relationship”‚ a quote taken from Tuesdays With Morrie‚ p. 83. The past year has been a very difficult one for my family and I‚ as my Grandmother passed away. Being very close to her‚ this departure was an extremely sad one.

    J. Dubner. Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything. New York: Harper Collins‚ 2005. Print. The authors of Freakonomics‚ Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner‚ were very clear in the fact that they did not want their book to simply revolve around one single theme‚ thus making it difficult to discern a distinct thesis statement or theory. Some may perceive this type of approach as a weakness‚ but I believe it is the appropriate method for the subject matter at hand.

    Book Review of the Jungle

    • 4 Pages

    Book Review on The Jungle As in any classic novel‚ there are several themes that contribute to the betterment of the story. However‚ the most prominent seems to be that capitalism is the root of the evils in the world‚ and socialism is the only cure. In my opinion‚ this is an excellent theme‚ because Sinclair truly persuades the reader into the belief that socialism is far superior to capitalism. He creates a sort of propaganda for the cause of socialism. The theme is developed subtly. The author

    Review of The Book Thief by Markus Zusak It seems sometimes like the market for young adult literature is written down to the readers‚ almost in a condescending manner. That is why a book like The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is so refreshing in this sea of cookie cutter romances and fantasies. While classified as a young adult novel‚ it deals with very serious themes. The book’s cover comes printed with this label: “It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has
