Book Review:
Predictably Irrational “The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions” by Dan Ariely (2010)
Undergraduate College Level (Senior) Paper must have at least six quotes / citations from the book.
The book review paper should contain the following:
1) The author’s primary assertions. Although an exhaustive description isn’t necessary, readers will want to have a general idea of what the book is about before they decide to read further.
2) Offer a critical opinion of the book, supported with examples with the book (citations), knowledge of critical theory, or other facts having researched. What are the book’s major strengths and weaknesses, and why?
3) Conclude with some statements about your personal judgment of the book. Is this a book you would recommend to readers, and why? What social or historical events does the book address?
4) Optional: Compare the work to others by the same author or others in the same genre, if appropriate. Describe the book’s place in its field.
Book Review Guidelines:
The book review should contain a description, critical analysis, and an evaluation on the quality, meaning, and significance of the book, not a retelling. It should focus on the book’s purpose, content, and authority. A critical book review is a reaction paper in which strengths and weaknesses of the material are analyzed. It should include a statement of what the author has tried to do, evaluates how well (in the opinion of the reviewer) the author has succeeded, and presents evidence to support this evaluation. A critical book review is not a book report or a summary.
