Stupid Question. Need help with book review, please.

Post by alwaysdaddygirl »

Aloha,

I understand you are not to give opinion. Is there a limit of how many quotes from the book we can use? I have like around eight. Each quote I try to explain why it is important.

Or is there a better way of doing this?

My apologizes for the additional questions. Blessings.

There isn't a limit, but I think 8 quotes is far too much. I suggest choosing just a couple of important quotes. You can refer to the other quotes in your review without writing down the quotes themselves. Anyway, it is just my opinion.

I agree with Gali. It's better to limit the quotes to one, maybe two.
