What you need to know before doing your bookreport:
Your bookreport is not only a means to check if you have read and understood the book, doing a bookreport also helps you to analyse the book and to express your opinion on it in a well-founded manner. It is important that you learn how to do this, as you frequently need to do this at university.
Answer the questions as explicitely as possible. Answers that are so generic that they could fit nearly any book will not be scored as correct.
