Thank you To Vocal for this challenge. I don't expect to place, but it was a lot of fun. It got me writing again after long creaky weeks of frustration and a dearth of creativity.

Here is a critique of a classic novel that I just finished about a week ago. The name of the novel is 'This Side of Paradise'. The author is quite famous for a lot of his work. His name is F. Scott Fitzgerald. My idea is to start reading or even re-reading and offering reviews and critiques of my collection of classic novels that I have bought over the years.

Dostoyevsky's Karamazov Bros: verbose, it drags at times. Ponderous philosophical debates explore the labyrinths of characters' minds.

I first read The Great Gatsby when I was 16. At the time, I found its language complicated, and its message somewhat beyond my understanding.
Jaye Ruggiero-CashPublished 9 months ago in CritiqueFahrenheit 451: A Critique
An incendiary critique of censorship and suppression. Set in a future where books burn, it feels all too prescient when writing has become an act of resistance and politicians ban books for votes. Bradbury’s warning against sacrificing knowledge on society’s altar is a chilling reminder of the power of information.
E.K. DanielsPublished 9 months ago in CritiqueTwilight
An awkward teenager. A sparkly vampire. A besotted werewolf. Love it or hate it, the cultural impact of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight is undeniable. Combining supernatural themes with young adult romance for the first time, the series paved the way for a new sub-genre in fiction and has become truly iconic.
