Book Reviews

by Students of Freshman English Reading

The purpose of these reviews is to help SCU English department students find good books in English to read for their own enjoyment. Not only can you learn about many good books from these reviews, but you can make further contact with the reviewers in order to ask more about a book. I hope these reviews both help you choose good books and encourage you to do more reading in English and to enjoy it.
