Critiq

All of them.

I've been meaning to read this book for a long time. I always get sidetracked. :( Should I make room to read it? :? Absolutely, especially since its plot pertains ...

Yeah, anyone interested in graphic novels should probably read V for Vendetta. It's not perfect, but the core idea is just so enticing its totally worth it. You can't be ...

Simply put, cut out everything that doesn't a.) Develop character or b.) Move the plot forward. The best part of fiction is that you cast, costume, and create the extra ...

I read a lot of those books when I was younger. It seems a little weird for you to be reading them in class, though. I guess they are sort ...
