What like a magazine style book review or a literature degree style book review?

The only thing I have is that it has to be between 1000 and 1500 words, anything above or below and won't be marked. Also have an example of one but that's it :cry2:. I have no idea what im doing 😂

I've never actually written one but I did read through one and I know what you mean. It was more like a critical essay of an intepretation of the book rather than a review.

Yes I had to do the same last year, had to critically analyse a theme in the book. As someone whose not done English Lit since 16 it was tricky.

I'm currently examining International Criminal Tribunal of the former Yugoslavia cases and it's driving me nuts. Literally, I understand nothing.

Need to make my final preparations to my presentation and carry on with my book review today! But not good that I'm in one of them 'can't be bothered to do anything' moods 😞
The weather is foul and I know I need to go to the library, but the weather is making it so hard to leave my bed let alone the house!
I've been very productive today, finally..

So far...
1) 586/2500 for my policing essay
2) completed seminar tasks for criminology seminars for the week
3) Gone over some presentation prep for the group presentation (non-assessed but still making an effort)
4) Now about to start my other criminology essay, with the goal of 500/2500 for tonight.
5) just about glanced over my European Law notes for my tutorial on Tuesday.

To do..
1) prep bundle and arguments for mooting championship competition before wednesday.
2) complete tutorial tasks for european union law for tuesday
3) average 200 words per day per essay
4) Start planning European Union Law essay by the end of next week, then start writing by averaging 200 words daily until finished.
5) catch up with Criminal Law and European Union law reading and note-taking, also catch up with my other criminology module reading.

I can't wait to complete all those tasks!

Edit: met my 500words per essay goal today, pretty pleased.. might be a small goal, but I'm on track.

Sodded doing the essay, wasn't compulsory and counts for nothing anyway.

Was stressing me out too much and I knew I was gonna end up handing in **** work, I'd rather not bother. Plus I felt pretty ill when I got in this morning from work (think I haven't been sleeping enough), so I took it easy today.

Study crazy Lindsay begins tomorrow.
