Ideas for your notes ....

The title
|
What does the title tell you
about the book?
If you were choosing another title, what would you choose? |
The author
|
Have you read anything else by the same author?
In what way is this book different, better, worse than their other books? |
The characters
|
How do the characters change over time?
Choose a character that you like or dislike and talk about why he or she
caught your attention. |
The plot

Was it enthralling, amusing, tedious,
convincing?
Don't bore your reader by telling the whole story.
They'll want to read that for themselves. |

about anything in a new way? |

Is it a graphic novel or a comic book?

Do the characters develop? (eg become more evil, discover the value of
loyalty) |
