Overall, your book report should focus on the central argument(s) (thesis) of the book followed by a thorough description of evidence presented in the book to back up the authors claims. In the introduction of the book report, you will identify the authors thesis and explain it in your own words.

In your Introduction you will also tell the reader the three distinct pieces of evidence or casesthat is, the three chapters from McAlevey, each one is a casethat you will analyze in your report.
